I was just wondering. If you were to give gifts to all your nice friends, neighbors, co-workers, special someone, relatives, and your immediate family..... (woohhh!!! even saying it is a long list in itself already), how many people do you end up giving gifts to for christmas?
50? 100?
Oh, and how much do you end up spending? Include gift wrapping, shipping and the whole enchilada...

I have about 15 I buy for but that is only because our family has decided to only buy for the children. That makes it a whole lot easier.
I usually shop clearance racks throughout the entire year so I will spend $5 or less on each child (except my own). I only buy 1 big gift for each of my kids in Dec. I really save $$ that way.
I also purchase gift wrap the year before on clearance. An average for my wrapping paper is $0.40 a roll.

I have about 20 immediate family members that I buy for.
The usual amount per person is around $30-$40. I always
spend much more on my husband, but that's a given!
No office gift exchanges or other gift giving, it gets too expensive. I'll give xmas cards to everyone else.

If I did give to all of the people you list, it might be about 50 people. I'd have to include cards and cookie bags in order to keep costs down. But I don't give to all of those people. I have four daughters and a great wife who receive most of my gift-giving, and I try to give to my parents, my sister, my sister-in-laws. I usually don't give to another sister and my brother (Now, you've started me thinking).
What I spend varies a lot. This year, we bought a $400 piano, so expenses have gone up.

Not very many people..
my secret santa from a forum I post on, boyfriend, mom, maybe dad..possibly boyfriend's parents too.
As for spending ... no idea.
I spent $10 on the secret santa (plus shipping, don't know how much that will be yet)
About $100 on the bf
and I'm not sure what I'm getting my parents and the bfs parents yet.

We buy for two sons and their wives and our seven grandbabies. We also buy for my brother. We have my best friend of 44 years (since we were 12 years old) and her mother. Anyone else gets a box of the many goodies I bake each year.
