re: Christmas cost

Quoting Devil's Advocate:" We spend between $500 and $700. One kid."

 

Have you started shopping?!

Quoting I♥MyTots:"   Have you started shopping?!"

Nope  

It may not be that much. Maybe closer to $400, we are getting her a $200 tablet and some other toys and clothes.

Aw, adorable. I want to get the girls a leap pad but I'm not sure if they're quite old enough for it. Makynli will be 3 in January and Brooklyn will be 2 in less than two weeks.   I hate that their birthday's are so close to Christmas because I run out of ideas of things to get them.

I am trying to talk Donnie into the Leap Pad instead! I think it's better for Dawn but he is dead set on the tablet. We kinda spoil her

You do but it's so easy to do that when you only have one kid. Have another and you wont be able to spoil her as much.

At least she doesn't act spoiled  

She donates her old toys and couldn't care less. But I want to get her a play kitchen and a few sets of Lego Friends. That's the only thing she really asked for. And each year for Christmas Eve, she gets to open one gift and it's a new robe, slippers, and pjs.

That's awesome that she donates her old toys. What a sweetheart.

She'd love this. If the girls hadn't of gotten a kitchen set last year for Christmas I'd so get them this.

My daughter's birthday is just under a month from Christmas but I feel like I still have plenty of ideas lol. She'll be 2 in January.

Quoting I♥MyTots:" How much are you spending on your kid(s) this Christmas? If you have more than one kid, how much do you spend on each kid?"

A bit more then we planned on, thats for sure, lol Including EVERYTHING for them like stocking stuffers and shared gifts, sibling gifts and their own gifts close to 700 for both. They are 2 and 4

100.00 Per a kid and 100.00 for their "shared" gift.

If you only count the gifts, I spend $20 and she was excited!
