We spent $200 this year on our 3 little nephews ages 6 mos, 3 & 5.Edited to say, one of which is John's godson.

Re: How much do you spend on...

We buy for 15 kids (eek!!)
9 are nieces and nephew
6 are cousins kids

Since the number is constantly growing I try to limit what we spend--- so now we only spend $50 per niece/nephew and less on cousins kids---

I tried to do this last year but I couldn't kepp to the budget--although this year I did much much better---

We used to spend closer to $60-75 on each kid----

Re: How much do you spend on...

I spend anywhere from 30 to 50 dollars on each one. I only have two. They get so much from all their other aunts and uncles and Santa (of course), that I just try to buy them one nice gift each.

Re: How much do you spend on...

We spend a lot. Probably close to a $1000 for 5 of them. I think it's too much, but they are DH's nieces & nephew and he's already cut back a lot since we met.
