I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet, but whenever I do, I either spend too little and my friends get me something great or vice versa

Christmas presents shouldn't be so stressful to get but the can be unfortunately. I would say that even if you're really good friends with someone you don't have to go mad splashing the cash. You could easily say that you have paid for a couple of cinema tickets for a good night out. Something like that. It's about a thoughtful gift rather than the money. In my experience most girl friends really appreciate a good idea rather than how much it cost.

you will have to learn how to shop, u can buy great things at an affordable cost, i guess u just need to look different places for prices, I usually get everyone a nice t-shirt but ill get my parents and sister something meaningfull, What helps me, i do a list, put the most important people first and their gifts besides and then for the other friends and family ill get something good but sheap (cause it costs money) (and their alot of them). And stick by the list unless u find something better at a similar price. If ur organized u know what u spend and there are less chances of going way out. (of money).

I have different levels of friends - oldest and dearest have one budget of maybe $25-$50. For new friends, we just try to get together during the holidays for brunch or a movie or coffee. Christmas shopping gets out of hand really fast and just puts more pressure on you. If one of your friends spends more on you, just exchange gifts graciously but make a point to do a little something extra after the holidays.

It would really depend on the closeness of the friend.
If its like your best chum for life then spend a good 20-30 quid on a nice top or smellies set.
If its a friend you only see whenever theres gossip, i would just get a small 5 quid box of choccys.
If its a friend at work, usually the tin of biscuits go down well, they often share them around.
Otherwise just a card ...

I don't have a lot of money this year so my presents won't be above £5-£10 but I usually spend £15-£20 on friends depending on how much I see them & how much they mean to me, may sound a bit wicked but them I don't go over budget but everyone stays happy!

My friends and neighbors have come up with a wonderful tradition... which is openly discussed long before Christmas gift exchange time....and now is not too late to do this. Each of us come up with a wonderful cookie recipe, and we make tons of them...them give each friend and neighbor a platter of these cookies, along with the recipe. After all of our cookie exchanges, each of us end up with a yummy assortment of cookies made with love . It is cost effective, and has a personal touch as well. I think way too many people give gifts almost as a chore or something owed, and they spend money and stress that they can not afford. You your imagination, and it can become a fun exchange. Merry Christmas All! Have Fun!

10-20 bucks, unless you are on a really tight budget then i would say $5. A friend of mine tried to tell me that he is putting me on a budget of $5 for each person. Last year I tried to do it for between 4 and 5 and didn't quite make it but I tossed up to how much I love them and I knew that they would be happy with what I could get for them.
