I’ve done £300 on them all today and I know I’m going to wrap it tomorrow and still want to buy them more!
I know it’s relative, but how much do you spend?
Edit - tried to edit as I put it on the football page and it deleted my entire post! [Post edited 22 Dec 2019 1:46]

I dropped 90 notes on my grandmother, no.5 and a rose bush... |  | | |

Around £100 on each of the three boys.
The same for Mrs H

I'd say £100 is going pretty large on your children. £30 is enough, get them Kerplunk and a selection box and there'll be no complaints. |  |

But surely it comes out of the housekeeping money you bestow upon her! |  |

Too feckin much.

Bah bloody humbug. |  |

It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

About 100 quid each on small, fun stuff. They're 14 and 17 year-old girls with their own ideas about what they want. So buying them stuff to take back to the shop or giving them cold, hard cash doesn't feel very Christmassy.
I remember that we all reined it in about 5 or 6 years ago after my father-in-law spent an embarrassing amount that even made my daughters feel awkward. |  |

I never thought I'd be a splash the cash dad, but an arsenal kit with printing cost £100 precisely. Had to get something else to actually play with too. Seems a lot to me, but maybe not to most |  |

You are wrong on so many levels Ullaa that it is a little frightening. | |

Arsenal? Too much?! Seems like I'm accidently hitting the median weirdly. | |

How Victorian. I am much more forward thinking. I let her work part time so she has some money to pay for all the food shopping and this kind of thing. | | | |

Just over 350 each this year, thankfully less than last year but the 2 eldest got new phones last year which are obviously stupidly expensive. |  |

Spent about 100 on my daughter, but I used it making her a custom studded and patched jacket myself by hand (she wanted one like her old man).
She’s had a holiday in London, Paris and Disneyland this year, as well as God knows how much through the year on stuff. Even kids you live in a different country of are expensive LOL. |  |

About 16 or so hours a day probably... which is more than I can spend when working... |  |

About 50 on some gaming stuff she wanted, then 150 on clothes she really needs. |  |

Precisely we went for iphone 6s last year so far from being new and they were still 300 each. I have no idea how these kids have the latest phones these days from normal families | |

Yes. They are.
Unless you pander to their desires to haev the latest, or coolest brand. | |

We should be grateful it wasnt a budgie kit I suppose. That's pretty decent parenting for a nodger. |  |
