Here’s a breakdown of our Christmas gift spending.
- My Mom and Dad: $23
- Her Mom and Dad: $23
- My Grandparents: $23
- Her Grandparents: $23
- Her Brother: $45
- Her Sister: $45
- Her Sister’s BF: $25
- Her Cousin 1: $16
- Her Cousin 2: $15
- My Brothers (2): $75
- My Brother’s GF: $11
Total Spent: $324
That’s not a terrible amount, but it doesn’t account for the money Bird and I spent on each other which was about $150 each. So if you add that $300 its gets up to $624. Plus Bird has one more brother that lives out of state that we didn’t buy a gift for yet, so that’s another tenative $50. When you add that all up and it comes to almost $700…that seems like a lot.

We spent about $2,000, including family gift exchange and office exchange. Also, about $600 was for items that the hubby and I were going to buy anyway. We did go a little wild for the kids, but it was all useful stuff!
We were at $820, including me and my husband’s exchange. Better than last year’s $1k, but still not ideal.
$0 We don’t exchange presents on Christmas. Saves all of us time, money and the headache of finding just the right presents.
