I still have a lot of presents to buy but my children are already bought for. With them, I've spent over $300 and I think I did pretty good. Did you spend over your limit or under? What kind of sales did you find?

Dont even ask lol..... i buy for my 2 children (7 and 3) my hubby, mother, step father 1 brother 3 sisters , 3 brother in laws and my father in law and i spend about 3,000 not to mention the what the hubby took out of the bank to spend on me. i love to shop especially for others so i tend to go a little over board but with my kids and hubby i have no limit i buy until i feel im done and with everyone else i try to give them all a $50 limit but i tend to spend slightly over that .

Wow! I would probably spend that as well IF I had that to spend. :-) I still have to buy for my two cousins (my girls were part of a name drawing for our family Christmas) and my brothers. $50 limit seems pretty reasonable!

Over 300 O_O jeebus, I've never even SEEN that much money in my entire life.. I can generally buy ten presents for everyone for 25 dollars. It also helps I usually shop all year long at garage sales and such...so all I can really give you's estimates...but I doubt I get even anywhere near a hundred bucks. There's been no presents shortage complaints either. I haven't shopped yet, (at all)...so I can't give you a number for what I've spent this year heh

I have not even started buying any christmas gifts yet, I have not had the money. This time of year can be very stressful and depressing, going to do my best not to let it get me down this year. I am determined that it won't! I know, just as my three children know the real meaning of christmas, therefore, that eases the stress level some. But yet, it is still fun to give when you can. Merry Christmas to you all.

I have spent arond 600$ or so between my sons and other family and probably another 100$ or so between other friends and people at the office. If I ever go over my limit I just raise it and say I was under what I wanted to spend instead of going over. I never really worry about that anyways as long as everyone is happy at the end of it, but I do get complaints that I spend way too much. The joy I see on others faces makes it worth every penny.
