Presents for other family members.

Say you spend X amount on a person do you prefer to give one present or split the amount into various presents?

I like to give lots of little presents. I buy for my mum and two sisters, and my two brothers

This year, i am getting my mum and sisters chocolates, car air freshener, pyjamas, socks, a small Yankee candle and then one thing that will be different for each of them depending on what they like. I probably spend about 45/50 on each. They all buy my girls amazing presents and I get alot too, so I like to give them what I can.

My brothers get sweets, socks, a lynx set (or similar) and a £20 note each because I have absolutely no idea what they would want!

I do one gift, typically. I don't do set amounts though, and just buy what I think the person will love, and I try to buy something that I think they wouldn't normally spend money on for themselves.

For my family (mum, dad, sister) I do several presents.

OH family usually just one plus a gift open such as gloves, scarf. Though this yr justness getting a voucher!

Younger cousins, nieces and nephews one present each.

Depends on who they are and what they like. My parents I usually get one big thing I know they wouldn't buy themselves or have mentioned needing... usually that's something I go in with my brothers on (a new computer, a gift card for a new mattress & boxspring) for my in laws we go solo and usually make them a basket with a gift card to their favorite restaurant, beer for FIL, wine for MIL, nice chocolates etc.

It depends on the person I'm buying for. My brothers I tend to get 1 present for, whereas my parents and MIL I'll get several smaller things.

 

[motherofboys]

Depends on the budget really. Ours is quite low so we can't get several gifts as such, but sometimes I will do a hamper style present so it has a few things in but is technically one gift

It depends on what I'm buying and for who, for example my nan really like whiskey and I spend £20 on her; her whiskey costs about £15 so I'll buy her a little something to go with it. Whereas my dad I buy him one big thing, so this year he's had tickets for the theatre xx

Can anyone suggest a present for sil&bil for under a tenner. Only problem it needs posted. They usually come home for christmas and normally do a wee token gift or nice chocolates

 

[motherofboys]

I'd suggest a dvd they can watch together. If you find one cheaply enough you could also include £5 and a not saying the popcorns on me. That would be easy to post
