How much did you spend on pressies? (60)
ObscuritanMelbourne, Victoria Australia37 Threads 3 Polls 1,284 PostsWhew I have just finished shopping for xmas pressies. Did some yesterday and some more today. Haven't added it all up but would have to be about $500-600. Oh well it's just once a year; oh then birthdays but that;s a little easier.
Somewhere between $100 and $150 
We don't do big pressies at Christmas, just nice little personal thoughtful things which don't usually have a high price tag

Hi Obsi...
I tackled the shops today too... with my granddaughter and her mother in tow... she was whingy, which did not make it any better, and spent way way too much... but hey, its only this time of the year.
I have not finished...need to tackle the booze shop... last stop..

I am a nanna, not just to vince lol but my 5 year old grandson, Oliver.
His other grandparents go completely OTT at Christmas and on his birthday, giving him crazy amounts of pressies (usually from Aldi lol, nothing really extravagant) so I just get him a few of his favourite things which he loves, plus lots of hugs'n'kisses

Same here serene about $100. Its the thought and love that a gift is given with not the value for me too.

Sorry Serene, I did not know you were a nanna already, I buy my granddaughter a good pressie... (shoes - Berkenstok ones with contours for her feet... I guess I just have a thing about feet needing to last for the rest of your life, and your body weight is on them thingo.. ) then I buy little surprise ones.. because she has already had to be fitted for the shoes, so they are not really much of a surprise...
My biggest expense was the cakes I bought..$127 worth.. but they are to take to the places I am going to...
I even bought myself some perfume... (cos I know I need some lol)
The bottlo will get plenty of custom tonight too... and I dont drink, but I find bottles of wine make good pressies...

I don't know about that, but I spend quiet a bit on my kids and dogs hehe! but I like to spoil them they are still like little kids at chrissy time. I don't have grandkids but I do see how much my friend spends she has 5 grand kids and she starts shopping thoughout the year.
Just picked up the ham and a box of cherries to go towards Christmas table.
