How much .....

[Me, My Girls & I]

i've spent under £50 on both of my two! they've got a kitchen set and an aquadraw that was in argos 3for2, which i got katies birthday present with as well! i'm looking to get them a little set of family people aswell, because they dont have any people, plus i want them to know the "proper" family set up of mummy, daddy and children cos they dont have a clue about that! i dont buy toys throughout the year unless i really need to cos they're running low/grown out of them, so i get things that will last for xmas and birthdays! and their bithdays are in november too! all in all i've spent under £100 for both their xmases and birthdays! god knows what their father will spend, but thats up to him and he doesnt send their presents round to mine, so he's likely to get a load of things they'll grow out of very quickly and will only play with for a few hours once a week

Iv spent £250 each on my older two but their PSP's took up a fair whack of that so it doesn't look like they've got many presents to open..Oh well. I doubt it will matter to them thankfully. I'll just load their stockings up with cheap bits n bobs.
I'll prob spend about £100 on my LO..

If I could get away with spending less on the older ones I would but things are so expensive these days

I think less is def more tbh ladies....we dont have to sepnd a fortune on them to make them happy....this is kinda something that really plays on my mind the last few years....Im def more for showing my DD and this lo when he/she arrives the true meaning of christmas and not how much they get spent on them....good on you all for keeping it real xxx

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

yea, to me xmas is more about family and stuff! i dont want the kids to grow up thinking its just about how many presents you get and stuff!

Totally agree with you....I hear friends saying they are spending up to a £1000 on their kids and I just shudder or that they cant wait to get wasted...grrrrrrrr!!

Im not particularly religous but the true meaning of christmas is long gone in general and its def up to us to make sure our kids know that presents is not what or all its about!!

Go you xxx

Oh looks like I go over the top with my kids! They are both the first of my parents
Grandchildren I got spoilt growing up! Hmm my 5year old got an iPod touch for his bday :/ he's 5
Then he's Gettin a laptop from his dad this year an DVD player portable ouch didn't realise how much I spent
An I've got 2 Jesus! Am kinda lucky as at 24 my parents give me £100 for christmas x

I'd say my budget was £100 but can't say I've ever spent this if anything I go over by around 90-100 pound! Ouch :/
