Who do you spend the most on at Christmas?

[marla]

I was looking at my shopping list and was surprised that I end up spending the most money at Christmas on one of my friends (even more than family). This is because she always gives me a rather expensive gift and I feel I should at least give one back in the ballpark area.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I have to spend more than I want, but the gifts I get from her are usually very nice and I use them, so they aren't a waste.

I brought a bed from Ikea for my fiance.

He needed a bed. He was sleeping on a mattress on the floor.

This year it will be my eldest son. I just figure this is his last year to believe in Santa (he's 7) so I'd like to get him the one toy he wants - $100 (includes a special battery). I just hope they don't break it early in the year (please let me get at least 2 years out of it).

Of course, I'm considering buying dh some certificates for massages, so I don't know how much that will cost. I know he'll need them after the move and he's asked for it before.

This year, I spent the most on my sister. My significant other was a close second (only $4 less). In 2004, I spent the most on my SO, and in 2003, my dad. So it varies.

My daughter. She's 16 months, and last Christmas she was too little to understand anything, but this year her eyes will light up when she sees all her goodies.

Like Marla, I spend the most on the person who spends the most on ME. My sister. I'm not sure, because I know she's a good bargain hunter, but I think she spends well over a hundred dollars on me for Xmas, and same for my birthday which is right before Xmas. I can't afford to do that, but I do spend $50-$75 on her, which is more than I spend on each of my parents, my kid, etc. I don't do Xmas for my spouse because he's a Jew and an atheist, but I do spend $50-$100 for his birthday and again for our anniversary.

My daughter, or my husband - I don't total it up, but it has to be one of them. Probably DD.

This year, my dad - I'm being pretty sweet and got him a very nice laptop for his impending world travels in retirement. Most years, my boyfriend. I really like getting people gifts!
