Agent Orange Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 It's that time of year again, when most people go bonkers and spend, spend, spend on presents for family and friends. Are you one of these people, or do you plan your crimbo shop with a strict budget in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wornout53 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not expensive....certainly not over £250 and I have a large family. I choose presents carefully with the recipient in mind rather than spending a fortune. Food etc is taken care of by my son who pays for it as his present to all the family.

I've restricted my budget considerably this year. I have set a budget and will be sticking to it. A little less than £250, but I don't have that many people to buy for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 After presents for partner, 2 brothers, mum, dad, stepdad, 3 good friends and 2 grandparents I'd imagine i'll be pushing about £500. Good job i've been buying it bit by bit since the beginning of October really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTM_1983 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I have always worked with a budget in my head and this year is no different (apart from its a slightly smaller budget as I am only working part time/not full time) I have 2 sisters/1 brother who between them have 5 girls and 3 boys and one them has a baby so plenty to buy. I consider myself a great bargain hunter though and never buy the first thing I find as I know I will find the same/similar else where or I go to low budget shops like B&M/Wilkinson/The Works which are great for stocking filler presents for the kids.

TJC1 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just buying little things for family. No budget in mind, if I think someone will like something I just buy it. Its the thought that counts and getting together with loved ones, not seeing how much money you can spend anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
