Inspired by enthusiasticsaver's How much to spend on Christmas Presents? post we wanted to know how much you're spending on your partner this Christmas.

Probably round about £100, maybe just over.

£0.

We don't do Christmas presents for each other. We both buy things we want during the year and our money is joint, so if we both buy presents we're just spending a chunk of our own money.

We buy each other presents randomly during the year - just at times when we see something and think of the other. Surprise presents are lovely.

I know I sound like Scrooge but we don't see the point in arbitrarily buying presents based on the date, especially when there's nothing either of us particularly wants.

We do of course buy presents for family and friends!

£0 to be exact. Only buy for our children,

When we got married I gave him everything I am and have, he did the same. Now what to I care about big gifts?

We give each other a Christmas stocking. Its value is immaterial ( so long as does not cause hardship) and is less than we spend throughout year on each other. It contains useful things like and things to enjoy just over the festive period. It might have socks, or some beautiful cufflinks, I'm fairly certain mine has some pretty but inexpensive earrings I admired a few months ago.

I don't mind of he spends a fiver on me ( we could use five thousand better elsewhere and I made him out back some shoes I tried on that where almost three hundred last weekend) and likewise, he'd rather I spent time with him, loving him, than spent money on something because 'it was the budget and he' quite like it'

Bigger purchases I think we'd rather share the enjoyment together.

£200-300 bracket and I've organised a very big surprise for him but it wasn't me that financed it.

I'd like to spoil him a little this year, he really deserves a treat.

This year we've bought ourselves a PS4 and a few games at a cost of £187 each. I've also got him a bottle of whisky, some CDs and a few other bits and pieces.

I've spent nearly £1200 this year on my soon to be wife.

normally we agree a £50 limit on presents for each other and just buy each other what we like over the year, but she's going back to university to complete her accountancy qualifications so I decided to get her what she needs (laptop, office, av, back up, sage, about 4 other bits of required software etc) so she won't have to bear the brunt of the cost before she goes back down to part time at work to study.

Least I can do after her support with my health over the past few months
