    My family is growing and there is only me so I seem to spend a fortune. What I've done say for a family say sister bil and neice nephew is to spend the majority of the budget on the kids but still get the parents a token present. Need not be much.

    Thanks, it's a bit awkward with my DD as she is my only one, so there's been a long history of over-indulgence, and I think even a token present is going to come across as a shock.

    How much do you usually spend on her (roughly). I used to spend £40 per person for a few presents. When there is 5 in a family not only was it pricey I had to shop for them and then wrap them. It takes at least a day!!!! As total family will be 12 and then I buy for friends. It got ridiculous so many presents everywhere so we set a limit within the family exchange. It does help.

    If you can say it after this Christmas next year their should be a budget. Or something.

    Good luck!
