Hi Ladies,


Well as you all know i am getting married next year and noah's b'day is coming up which were having a party for.

So the question is How much do you spend on your LO's for Christmas?

Cheers

errrm far too much...i think last year i spent £200 on each, then ex got the main prezzies xbox for leo(saying that i dont thinki oliver got a main prezzie and probibly didnt get as much spent...there wasnt a lot to get him ) x

we usually spend £400-£500 on Rowan but that is split between his birthday (22nd dec) and xmas.

But this year will not be that much as i'll be on mat leave and we'll have a second child to buy for too

yeh I spent way too much on Tyler and he was only just over 1. but in my defence it is very boring beign stuck in because it's to hot to go out so Tyler needed lots of stuff.

If I had to add it all up prob about 150 or 200 euro (could have been more though :/ )

Oh tells me i can spend £100 on each of the boys our selves, and them family also give money for me to spend on the kids. In total they probably get about £200-£300 each.
If i start to buy things early they always end up with more from us, I tend to do that as i feel like scrooge only spending £100 lol What oh doesn't know and all that!!!

about £100 for rich, but as his presents are getting more expensive he might have a bit more, but we will only go to £150.

for lucas he will probably get £100, depends what he needs,

i'm very practical at christmas, they get what they need

We normally spend about £150 ish, but to be fair, Aimee hasnt played with any of the stuff we got her for Xmas.

So, this year, im going to spend £50 each on toys/clothes and then put £100 each in their bank accounts.

They will thank me when they are older

i have spent £60 each on a main pressie, and we will prob spend about another £50 each on little bits, but thats it, they have so much already and we are saving ourselves so we can spend a little more when they want xbox's expensive shoes etc x

I won't be spending too much as my boys don't know what Xmas is ATM so maybe £50 each. They get alot of presents from family as well. They will get spoiled enough when older, plus they get things throughout the year as well x

No wonder i'm skint at xmas!!!!

I've no idea!

It won't be meggabucks though because I think they're still bit young to appreciate it.

My 14 and 20 year old usually ends up with £800-£1000 so I'll enjoy Ellie not making huge demands on us.

I'm hoping to buy her a kitchen or playhouse, I have already started buying books and little toys from the Book People who deliver to my work.

Christmas is soooooo expensive when they get older as the need Christmas clothes etc plus we eat out and it is costing £90 per head and half price for Ellie!!! Christmas is killer for us!!

Omg there are some huge amounts, only wanting to spend about £200 i think as i do get him toys throughout the year.

Thank you ladies

£200 is plenty to spend on a toddler, I won't be spending more than that as I know once she gets to a teenager she'd bleed me dry like my others lol

No more than £100, she's at an age where she doesn't care how much things cost or how many toys she gets, she's just grateful for the presents she does get, tbh I think they have more fun opening them at this age, plus Chloe gets loads and loads of presents off family so we don't go overboard x

Ok I must be really tight cause I only spent about £50 at the most. I won't spend more on her till she really desperately wants something (like mp3/bike/big toy etc). Atm she doesn't know what christmas is and appreciated the wrapping paper as much as the toys

i think im similar to you michelle, a few bits for christmas this year, and as his birthday is end of may its nicely spread out...but if there are things in between like a bike or something then we would probably get it if it was the right time he's spoiled enough

Hmm I aim to spend hardly anything on christmas or his birthday although partly because I want to get him something for the garden next summer. I suspect it won't happen now. I used to spend all my extra money (me and oh both keep a little in our own accounts) on me but that all gets spent on him so I've no doubt I'll have no control when it comes to christmas. I'm already tempted to get him something for grandchild day and he quite clearly isn't my grandchild

i was going to be ever so good last christmas but we ended up spending loads on elijah - we had stuff left over that he was too little for/didn't need that we gave him again for his birthday

We're finally giving Imogen a dolls house we bought for her last birthday. We decided she was too young and had too much then, at christmas she really did get too much so finally she can have it for her 2nd birthday.

i like to get them one main thing and a couple of little bits.. altho dita has 2 main things cos it only adds up to the same price as bradens one... i always like them to be even lol! im well prepared this year, got dita a kiddizoom and a baby annabell doll, and braden has the leapster explorer x

Same for me about £50 to £100. I will get him wat he needs. He still hasnt touched some of his pressies from last cmas and his birthday is kinda in the middle so gets things spread out. I have no idea wat to get him this yr but itll probs be one big pressy and then a couple of little things x
