How much do you spend on your LO's for Christmas/Birthday?

[LisaJ1986]

I don't think we'll spend too much this year. She has plenty of family so will get a fair bit. Money is quite tight and to be honest, being her 1st she'll not remember it. She will get a couple of nice bits but i think she'll be just as happy with the wrapping paper or cardboard box!

I would say abot 50

I was never spoilt myself and i would never want it for Daniel. I think one nice present is absolutely enough

I know we will go overboard at Christmas For Moo's birthday we have spent over £200

We ususally spend around £200 on each of our 3 and £100 on Joes others (their mam obviously buys their presents too) at xmas and about £50-£70 on birthdays!
Christmas costs us a fortune but apart from birthdays, its really the only time they get toys etc! We dont just buy them random toys through the year! We ususally start buying in September when they have gone back to school! Its a pain as we have a million birthdays in December too! And a new one to add this year haha

TBH, whilst she is little and still doesn't understand xmas or birthdays 100% we don't go mad - she has grandparents to do that!

Yeh thats what we were like! When they were little we didnt spend too much but now as they are getting older, it kinda increases each year haha
Like Lola-Mae will be just weeks old so we will probably spend about £40 on her a baby gym or something!

We have a big family so I tend not to go overboard as they get spoiled anyway!

Last year I spent £100 on Paris and I'll be spending around the same again this year and maybe £50 on Harrison. They get stuff all year round anyway so I'd run out of space if I went mad

we spent £1500 on my 9 year old for xmas about £700 on my 2 year old..i know it sounds a lot but they don't have very much off the rest of the family and we work very hard..if we didn't have it we couldn't spend it it, plus i had nowt when i was small so i like to spoil them a bit xx

I don't think we're going to go mad at Christmas for her, mostly because money will be quite tight with me being off on leave still. I want her first Christmas to be more about us being together rather than spending a fortune because she'll be starting nursery full time two weeks later
