How much do you guys spend on Christmas gifts for the family?

I only spend about $30 on each adult which is my mom, dad, sis and brother in law. For my nieces I spend $40 each so about $200 for all of them. I'm curious because I don't over spend. I got bills to pay and this year just thinking about getting my nieces only as I never know what to get the males

How old are the guys? I spend about 30-40$ per adult too, I do spend around 60-80$ for my parents and godparents cause despite not being religious like my fam, they did take really good care of me growing up. I also do make an exception for my closest cousin since his bday is in the beginning of January so that's usually around 80-100$
For the young ones usually 20$ is enough.
I don't think individually I'm spending too much, but siblings, plus cousins, plus aunts/uncles, plus grandparents and then the kids.. Yeh it adds up fast

It adds up and I need to buy all 4 tires and such. Maybe I'm being cheap too lol

It really depends on what you can afford tho. Thought is usually way more appreciated than fancy

For me it depends on the relationship. I used to be super cheap spending only $20-40 on gifts for in-laws and for friends. But two Christmas's ago I spent $150 on a gift for a girl who used to be my friend. I had asked her if she really wanted the gift or if it was something that could've waited. She told me she wanted it, however, because it was a bear from build a bear she assumed it was cheap. She went around telling everyone that she spends over $50 for my gifts every year and that I was always buying her cheap things. Which for the record' I've never bought anything for her under $60, for me that isn't cheap especially if you're not my spouse/partner/parent, etc...

After this incident, I stopped buying Christmas gifts for anyone. That was the year I gifted everyone $100/ea and I stopped going to the parties. It really made me realize how ungrateful people are. The people I gifted were complaining about the money thing too.

Sorry for my rant. 😐
