How much money should I spend on my family for christmas?

Question

I'm thinking about spending $70 on my mom, $70 on my dad and $60 on my brother, do you think thats enough? ps. I'm 13

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to get them. I would find the "perfect gift" for each family member, without looking at the price. Find something that suits that person, that wouldn't suit anyone else. Then look at the price, and if it over $70, move on and find the 2nd most perfect gift.
Good luck.

Answer 2

That's pretty crazy that you can spend $200 on immediate family when you're 13. Must be pretty lucky! I do agree about making presents though, or even buying things you can add your own personal touch to. For instance I ordered a calendar for my dad through the walmart website. I put all pictures of him and my son together, like them dressed up for Halloween for the month of October, a picture of them from last Christmas for December and so on, and the cover of it is our first official picture of the 3 of us together when I was still in the hospital. I mean it only cost me a little over $20 but I know he'll love it much more then some $100 tool that he'll use every now and then. I say don't think about the money part and how much is "good enough" just think of something you know they'll love, the kind of thing that will bring a smile to their face the second they open it!

Answer 3

actual authentic looking! you may desire to comprehend that how a lot you spend isn't the situation right here. Your mothers and dads do no longer want you to spend all your money on them. From my own adventure the main effective issues my young babies ever gave me have been the two hand-made or low-priced yet chosen with super care! So positioned your concentration onto finding for some thing you think of they could quite like extremely than some thing of specific fee. the quantity of concept you place into it and the affection with which you supply it is the main mandatory element in present giving.

Answer 4

In my area there is a store called 5 below. Which is a dollar store except 5 dollars and under which I bought my sister a DVD for $5, Webkinz Trading Cards for $3, I also plan to get her a new webkinz somewhere else. I split my parents presents with my sister. So everything cost me like $50 at the most.

Answer 5

Wow at 13 I could only afford to make stuff for my family! Which I still do now at 22. I think handmade or personalized things mean so much more than store bought things. This year I am making photo books and personalized calendars for my family. Those are both gifts under $50, but I think personalized things are more valuable than gifts that could cost over $50.

Answer 6

Its not about how much you spend, is the meaning ,anyway sure you can get them something nice with 70 bucks

Answer 7

That's up to you. If you have the money to spend, then you should not feel guilty spending it. You should spend responsibly. If you don't have it, then don't borrow to get gifts. Spend less. Personally, I have bills to pay and other responsibilities. I am not spending that much on my wife and son. But, that's my choice. Do what is comfortable.

Answer 8

I think thats good, and you are pretty rich for your age. My name is Jackie too and I'm 13 also. Weird. Well anyway, I think it kind of depends on how old your brother is. If he's older than you, then more money, and vice versa.

Answer 9

I really think whtever you give them should be from the heart. Lets say you find something that reminds you of something your mom did that was funny a long time ago, but it only costs $2.00. Your mom would appriciate it more than a $70.00 perfume.

Answer 10

You know that Christmas is not about money.

Sometimes, making something for a relative can mean so much more than a bought gift.
