how much do/did you spend
posted 5th Dec
On you kid/s for Christmas? How old are they? I feel like I went overboard and am considering returning some stuff or saving for a later time to avoid her expecting a ton each year.

Savannah who is 3- about $500-600
Katy who will be 11 months- $250-300
plus everything from the grandparents.

I don't think it depends on how much you spend, just how much you get. Esp when they are too little to understand monetary value.

My daughter is 4 and I've spent around $500. Although $200 of it was spent on an innotab 2 and 4 games to go with it.

Oh man, I really do not know.
I typically but throughout the year, so I'm not so overwhelmed AND broke this time of year. It usually depends, every year is different.

We haven't finished our shopping yet, but it won't be more than $150 per kid if we go by our list. Ours are almost 4 and 2. They're getting bikes this year, otherwise we wouldn't be spending that much. We've gone way overboard in years past,so we're trying to tone things down from now on, especially since they have birthdays in January and October where they also get gifts.

In previous years, I spent over $1000 on my one kid. I've since toned it down and am only spending about $600-$700. (baby steps for me). I've spent about $450ish so far, I think.
I am ordering a train/lego table for him, so I hope to not exceed $200 for that. I'm trying not to emphasize so much on the gifts at Christmas, b/c he gets stuff all year round.

My son's first birthday is on Christmas. It makes it hard. Whereas normally we may have spent $300 on each occasion, we can really only afford to spend $150 for birthday and $150 for christmas. So one bigger thing for each occasion and a few small things to go along with it.
