How much do you spend on christmas presents each year?

Do you go all out trying to please the people you know in the month of December or are you a cost effective type of person?

I'll always try to buy something I think they'll like. Some are very hard to buy for, then only then will I buy a voucher so they can decide themselves.


In terms of how much, depends on how they're related to me. I spend more on anyone close to me.

I tend to buy them things that they would by for themselves if it was not the most expensive time of the year and they not so busy looking after everyone else.

Ok well all responses so far are taking the piss... so I'll be the first to answer truthfully.

About 15 euro for each family member, shur the best part is the dinner and bottles of beer/wine.

Sugar Free

Six presents this year (mother, father, sister, girlfriend and two others) cost me 220E so 35-40E each on average.

Way too much Buy for 3 nephews, 3 siblings, 2 siblings-in-law, 2 friends, mother, stepdad and stepbrother. Will be spending about €550/600. Luckily I just broke up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago or that'd be another few hundred!

You should have waited until after Christmas and got a decent present of him.

We do Kris Kindle so I used to only have to buy two presents in total, worked out about 100euro. Now i have a boyfriend and his family to buy for too. So I'd say I'm gonna spend 300-400.

There is 18 people in total in my family. So we decided instead of getting a sh1t load of cheap presents, we'd get one decent present instead . Works out great for us. So I do "have a grip".

What is Kris Kindle? Sorry I'm not an old person. This sounds like Daniel O Donnell sort of stuff.
