How many people do you buy Christmas Gifts for?

SugarSpun

2x parents
1x husband
1x daughter
1x brother
1x niece
3x friends
2x friends' kids
1x Secret Santa
1x gift for kindergarten staff
4-5x charity gifts
4x miscellaneous kidmergency gifts in case someone takes us by surprise

*Beki*

Partner, 3 x siblings (mine), 4 x parents (although might do joint presents for his parents as we usually do a homemade food hamper- my parents are too specific and have already given me the "gift list", lol), 2 x sets of grandparents (probably just something little). I just do cards with friends, or meet up and buy them a drink!

Hehe. I am imagining a fish in a little brand new Santa hat.

I have a picture in my head now of the fish out of American Dad wearing one now. :rotfl:

+ 5* friends.

The rest of my friendship group don't really bother. We've done secret santas etc in the past as there is such a big group of us, but we haven't arranged one this year.

About 27 plus some pets (not mine). I could cut that down, I suppose - some people aren't that bothered! But I like to send some sort of small gift to all of them, just to show that I'm thinking of them. It's not really a huge expense - I make quite a lot of my gifts myself.

I buy for 12.............

Dad
DS and DiL
DD and SiL
DGS
Sister and BiL
Goddaughter
Friends two children

and another 'to me' 'from me'....figure I deserve a little something after all the Christmas prep


Next year I will be buying for the same amount of people but only token presents; cutting back! :A

DH, Mum, sister, 2 nieces, 2 colleagues - limit £20 each, and 1 set of neighbours - tin of biscuits/bottle of fizz. Total of about £150, plus a few quid on specific cards only because they insist - I'd happily not bother with Christmas or birthday cards ever again if it was up to me. Complete waste of money in my opinion.

weeclick

Mum & dad (both get a joint hamper)
Grandma & Grandad (joint hamper)
Granny (small hamper)
auntie & uncle (joint hamper)
sister and her OH (joint hamper)
niece (hamper)
nephew (hamper)
and the niece and nephew also get a few joint presents too - stuff that basically doesnt fit in their hampers lol
OH
our cat
sisters two kittens will get a gift bag filled with food pouches and treats - to help sister financially more than anything
secret santa in work

so 16 including pets. Depending on how much stuff I have left over from baking treats for the hamper I might make a small token gift of leftover fudge / chocs / choc spoons etc to a few neighbours as our road was flooded in the summer and they literally just moved back home 2 days ago and another elderly neighbour who also was flooded. Times like those your community really comes together and Ive missed seeing them!

On top of christmas though I also have 3 family birthdays between now and christmas and OH in January!
