busymommyof3 (844.1 days ago) Well I dont buy my kids tons of gifts. I have done that in the past and the get bored and would rather play outside on their bikes. If I dont I usually get educational games. They love books. I usually let them get something from the store once or twice a month anyhow. O let them know christmas is not about gifts, gifts gifts. I am done I just need one more, but it has a condtional offer. I promised this `person`, if they quit smoking i would buy them something they wanted that was a little bit pricey, if not then I will have to get something else. =) So far this incentive has worked..lol My husband and I dont do gifts any holiday. If I need something I buy it, but he does always have a really nice heartfelt card for me. I am usually done by the end of Black friday week end.
armymom (844.4 days ago) I do alot of it online. For family that are couple I`m just personalizing orniments.. kids all get a $20 giftcard ( I have 9 neices and nephews!) My mom and dad.. I`m not sure yet but my budget is $100 for them. My budget for my 1 year old son is $200 and budget for my husband`s family (2 younger sisters in HS, 1 brother in College and his mom&dad) is $200. I had a big yard sale in August where I made $1200 and I`m selling items on craigslist right now to help with my christmas budget. But mostly I order offline because I hate holiday crowds in the stores and mall.
