[The Don]

omf Akeam just make the cards

I don't even usually bother with cards tbh, not entirely sure whether i will this year but wrapping paper is quite expensive unless you get the tacky stuff

[FlyingJesus]

It's Christmas it's meant to be tacky that's the fun of it!

[wixard]

for the little tags you put on the present we cut up old Christmas cards we got lol.

dunno whether or not to get my brothers gf anything as we've become good friends the past couple month n I no she got my mum a pressie and vice versa

[FlyingJesus]

I think you should, I know what I'd give her

[dirrty]

I think you should, I know what I'd give her
multivitamin tablets and wish for good health?

[FlyingJesus]

Have you been reading my receipts

[dirrty]

no, my carer did tho

[LiquidLuck.]

Usually my mother buys everything for my family, so we just say it's from all of us (mother, brother and I) and give it.
Then, I'll spend a bit of my own for friends, etc, so that'll be it. xD

[Mikey]

I've got the majority of my Christmas presents just now apart from one. I've also shared the amount of money for buying presents with my brother aswell so I've just spent under £100 and when I get the last present I need probably around £110-120.


Mum
Dad
Brother
Gran
Brother's GF
College friend
x2 School friends

[Aaron]

Not gonna cost as much this year as I'm not going over-board on everyone. About €100-200 in total for the family.

[Jake]

Spent £230 on my mum.
My brother is getting £0 though as its his 18th birthday in april & im combining the 2. (£300 cash to spend in a casino)
Grandparents - £50
Dad - £0 hes an idiot
Girlfriend - £95
Xmas secret santa - £15

So roughly about £400

[Sharon]

probably get my brother/sister the bare minimum and then my mum and dad an anniversary and christmas present combined since i'm genuinely out of money again. only buying for one friend, then prob get 2 other people something really small

[GommeInc]

Probably in the £100 - £200 price mark.

Mum, brothers, cousins, aunties, uncle, friends, nan. About 15ish.

[Kardan]

Girlfriend; £60
Parents; £20
Brothers; £10

So £120 total.

[RyRy]

Wow I must be a cheap *******, everybodys saying like £100 or so but I was planning on spending maybe 20-30 quid.

My parents know just how in debt I am though, that's actually a lot for me haha.

I've already done my Christmas shopping for my family and Boyfriend.

Dad - I got him a scoobydoo onesie (he's obsessed with scoobydoo lately) a scrappydoo soft toy and a memory foam pillow, as he has a bad back and it'll support his neck and back, before he goes for his oparation. (71Euro)

Mum - I got her a kindle (100Euro)

Brother - I got him a eygption obelisk thing and two eygption boat things. He likes Eygpt and wants to live there. (40Euro)

I won't post what I got my Boyfriend unless he see's this comment. xD

[Chippiewill]

Probably not much maybe £50-60, I only really buy presents for close family and we tend not to splash out.

[lawrawrrr]

Between 100 and 200 quid, I don't have many family members so it's ok ;)

[Dimbles]

im gonna really try budget this year, im just buying for immediate family and my best friend. so my mum, dad, bro, sis and my best mate. hopefully less than £100

[Nooses]

If I get the money I'm expecting, if I can be bothered & if I can think of things to buy, a few hundred $AU?
If if if....
