how much do you spend on each other? we've give ourselves a budget this year of £40 each and I'm finding it hard to choose anything.

We give each other £50.00 in money and then a few bits and bobs which usually ends up being about another £50.00 so about £100.00 in total.

Oh i got a right bargin this year, i brought my OH some Timberland boots normally there £120 but i got them for £70. I will just tell him i got them for £120.

Coz of our wedding next year wasnt going to spend much on him but couldnt help myself.

I really want a kindle lol, but thats like £90 so doubt he will get me that. We shall see haha

We dont really have set amounts but I generally buy him a nice shirt and then some bits such as books and aftershave usually totals about £120.

OH is really good and takes me shopping for something nice, last year it was dress and leather jacket from Ted Baker and then bits to open on Christmas morning, I don't how much he spends though.

We don't usually bother as we get things when we want them so never want anything for Xmas.

About 50 quid budge although rob went way over last year and bought me loads lol. This year i.your getting him some clothes xx

moneys quite tight this year and any spare tbh we have p*ssed away on stuff to put away for elijah's christmas - theres nothing at all that either of us actually need so we will probably just do a couple of little things like chocolate or book tokens

we dont do xmas presents, we are just too excited to play with the kids toys!x

Were not buying each other anything. We can never wait for xmas so just buy stuff as and when so wed juste buying for the sake of it.

well we usually spend about £50 on each other...depends on situations though.
this year adam has 1 pressie and thats it...i know what i have, as ai helped him choose them - pjs bought one week and then a leopard print jewellery box the other.
it's all about benji this year though...so excited x

Ive agreed to buy Neils race fees for a year at 30 pound which otherwise he would have to go without. Im also spending a tenner on a couple small bits from girls so he can open something.

Im not expecting much he has nothing, if he asks he can get me a new Wii remote or even a 2nd hand one off ebay though lol

Nothing but me this year! LOL! Money is being saved for our trip in March for someone's wedding! *wink wink*

I don't like to say an exact amount for people. I just buy what I want. We fill each others christmas sacks. Last few years we've bought one big thing then loads of little things, this year we're just getting litte things so i guess it would probs come to £40 - £50. Going to get him some cds and dvds he wants

We normally dont bother, but this year I've worked my KIT days so I've a (teeny) bit of spare cash. I told him we'll spend about £50 on each other, I'd chosen some boots for £15 and for him to surprise me with the rest but now we're putting our money together to get a Wii

That will be more for Libby though as we've already chosen a Peppa game to go with it

Depending on finances I may buy him a little something else for about a tenner.

Im pretty skint so wont be able to spend to much on o/h but he has kindly told me I need a new laptop and to get looking as to what one i want. I feel so lucky but I feel bad at the same time because I cant spend much on him and any money I do have is what he has given me anyway so its like he has bought it himself

Erm depends what we get. Have got him a PS3 before so that was fairly expensive. He normally gets a big pressie, then some little ones and then a stocking. He has tickets for Michael MacIntyre from me and they were £80 and then slippers (his size 14 so they're hard to get) and the Senna DVD from Jamie. Still have to do his stocking though and will probably get him a couple of other bits. However, if we ever manage to sell our flat money will be much tighter so we will spend less on each other

i obviously have a dirty mind

hahah I laughed as i typed it cause it sounded dirty but couldn't be bothered to think of another way to word it. We do genuinely have christmas sacks that we put all our presents in

it's dependant on what we have, but normally it ends up with me spending about £300-£500 on him...and him spending £50-£100 on me

We normally buy something together that we want for the house, but he has been so good at going without things and paying for the house/mortgage this year (with me being on maternity leave again), that I have got him a watch (should be £230 but I got it for £185 as I got discount). He also loves Armani He EDT so im going to get him a 100ml bottle of that which is about another £50.

He has also been a total star through this pregnancy and has gone out of his way to do everything I have asked of him so he deserves a treat.

He has got me a Kindle which I cant wait to use (while having nice long baths while he has the kids and earns his watch ) x

I would try not to spend too much this year but I'm getting a new phone cos I need one and I can't really spend £20 on him if I'm getting that!
It depends what he wants though, he's a nightmare to buy for!

were spending £100 on eachother plus stockings. Last couple of years we both havent brought eachother anything and couldnt afford to get anything for ourselves so saved up to treat eachother x

We both got 100 this year for each.other but that also includes stuff from the kids x
