My Kids are 19, 16, and 11 but they get so much during the year

From their ages and you say they get alot during the yr.
Then $100.00 each, is a fair amount.

Everyone else has pretty much said it, but I'll go ahead and add on. That young, around $100, if you can afford to. From experience ( I have ages 2, 3, 5, and 6) a few new toys is so exciting at that age. And the boxes and wrapping paper are the biggest amusement. I'm dealing with this right now, but have decided on 100 tops for each of the youngest, and $150 for each of the oldest. They get bigger, and so do the gifts. I try not to go overboard with toys because they get broke, lose interest. My kids love to draw and build and do crafts, so I'm going in the direction of stamping kits, jewelry making kits, big box of crayons, stencils, paper, etc. That is something they don't outgrow and it lets them use their imagination and create something they are proud of. Even big toys like kitchens don't need to be top of the line. Get a $30 one and it will provide the same enjoyment and last just as long. Doesn't make you any less a parent or a bad one. Doesn't mean you aren't giving them the best. Christmas is supposed to be about family and togetherness anyways. Not how much someone spent.

Spend what you can afford. We had 5 kids and we would get them one BIG presant that they wanted and a few other presents puttint the other kids name on the from. Of course they had to put 3-5 items on their big wish list. We didn't want Christmas to become about the money. It is about quality family life. Of course the ages can come into play as well. You have a 19 year old. Does this 10 year old still live at home. Once the kids move out of the house, their list gets smaller and is geared more to priority items that fit their life away from home. Merry Christams to ALL

I don't go buy that really...I don't spend hundreds of dollars on them but they each get about 10 gifts...some from santa and some from mommy...if one of them gets 5 and the other 6 there is a fight so to keep things mellow I go by the number....

We tended to spend less than $30 per gift. that was 20 years ago. perhaps 1 to 3 gifts per kid.
so
I would think that with inflation $50 to $75 would be max gift. (like a video game) and a couple smaller ones.
I think it is wrong for these modern high dollar gifts.

it depends on how old they are. The older they are, the more expensive it can get. And also on how much you make.

It truly depends on your income. And their ages!

Depends on your income. You can't spend what you don't have.
