Just wondering how much you spend on your kids Christmas presents?
Do you have a amount to stick to?
Does each kids get the same amount spent on them?

We try not to spend heaps but we generally try to only spend no more than $100 if not less.

I splurged about on them this year, my guess would be about $300 each. But they don't get any impromptu presents during the year.

We spend the same amount on each of them. It's around $400 to $500 each this year but it varies depending on what I want to buy for them and what I think they might like.

Like PP we spent a bit but it is to cover mostly anything for throughout the year. We put $10 a week aside for both birthday and Christmas. Presents have to cover the next developmental stage. DD might get two or three little things at the mid-year toy sales but that is that.

I spend around $200-$250 each usually. Give or take depending if they get something big or not.
Probably a bit too much considering I'm a single parent, but I budget throughout the year and they don't have many relatives to buy them things.
I like to spoil them whilst they are young original.gif

$100-$150 each atm. this year it's only the higher end, their main presents are bigger (usually we spend around $50 each on a main present, this year we've spent $100 each), but i can see the number going up as they get older (currently 6 and 4)

Usually no more than $100 each but this year have splurged on mini micro scooter plus helmet and a few other gifts so more like $250
