We're really going to struggle this year for presents as our baby is due around Christmas and has already cost us a fortune but we've said we'll buy everyone something even if it's just a little bit - better than nothing :)

So, we're buying for:

My mum/dad
OH's mum/dad
OH's Sister
My 3 brothers and their OH's (will probably buy them something as a couple, no idea what, mind!)
4 nieces/1 nephew
My Uncle
OH's Grandad

Probably doesn't a lot but they usually like 'expensive taste' stuff which i simply can't afford this year so they'll get what they're bloody given! :rofl:
 
We buy for:
Eachother and our son
My mum, dad, brother, brother's fiancee
OH's mum and dad
OH's brother, sister in law, their son and daughter
OH's sister, her fiance, their daughter
Usually a secret santa at work and amongst my group of friends

That's it really

We buy for:

Our two boys
My stepdaughter
Each other
our parents
our siblings
our nephews
my grandmother
 
We buy for;

Each Other
Our Son, Max
My Mum & Stepdad
My Dad & Stepmum
OH Mum & Stepdad
OH Dad & Stepmum (With both of our parents divorced it makes for a lot of pressies so we're buying in couples this year :dohh:)
My Brother & Two Sisters

We used to try and get a little gift for all our close family (mum&dads & siblings) but now we've got olivia and most of our siblings now also have children we have all agreed that this is year we will only buy for the kids! and token gifts for those without kids!

My Mum&Dad - already bought a digi photo frame
My Mum
OH Mum&Dad
OH Sister & OH
OH lil Sister
My lil Sis & OH - Tickets for a trip round cadburys world! lol only £13 each!
Nephews x2
Neices x2
Our daughter, but we wont be going mad - probably a keepsake as everyone else will get her toys!
Me & OH are limited to spend only £20 on each other!

This lot will still probably cost us a small fortune but we've saved a lot by cutting out all the adults!

Boots or anywhere doing 3for2s are good for pressies!

Another cousin's 2 babies.

3 friends
4 people at work (just small things)
 
-my hubby (no ideas yet)
-kathryn (some new toy)
-zach (will just be a onsie or something)
-my mom (starbucks gift card, she's addicted to that place :lol:)
-my dad (no idea yet, something cool and eco friendly, he's a green architect)
-my best friend (no idea, I'll probably make her something)
-OH's mom (I'm thinking of making a neckless for her)
-OH's sister (gift certificate for some books on tape, she's blind and loves listning to books)
-OH'a best friends (his two besties are married to eachother, so will probably just get them something for their new house)

Luckily with my cousins we get together and do a holiday party and do a secret santa type thing for the kids, so we only have to get one gift for one of the cousins.
 
DH and I will exchange gifts and we'll either bake or make adult gifts and then we buy for the kids in our family. Money has always been an issue in the past and even when money isn't an issue it's just so much easier to buy for the kids only. This year, we have so much we need to do for ourselves that we'll be doing kids only this year and baking brownies, cookies and/or fudge for the adults.
