We do a Secret Santa, so I’ll get something really nice for that person. Everyone else gets homemade gifts, small somethings, or thrift finds bc 💸

Yes and it's a lot. It's expensive and stressful. From finding the right thing for each person, to paying for it, to wrapping, to loading it all in my car on Christmas. I hate it all lol

Adults do secret Santa and I get gifts for my nephew/niece and kid brother

Since having a baby and moving we can’t afford to do gifts. I think we’ll do homemade ones with our daughter this year

I just do mum and dad and the kids. Once we were all over 25 and having kids, we stopped doing sibling gifts. I’d appreciate something more for my toddler rather than me, since there’s nothing I really want or need. Just a token gift, like I got my nephew some new wooden cars and a puzzle.

We used to do secret Santa for my oh side of the family (adult siblings and mil) but it was £100 or you went in joint at £50 each. It started to get stupid when we were exchanging cheques at Easter. Thankfully we no longer do it as moved plus sil and mil died. I buy for my brother and gf but we no longer do birthday presents.

My siblings and I aren't gifting each other this year. Not in the budget. The kids get gifts and we're getting gifts for our parents

We draw names to see who we buy a gift for with the adults. All the kids get something from all adults.

We only buy for the kids now x

We do KK Kris Kringle. We get together about a month before and write 20 names in a hat and pick and that’s who we buy for, the adults. Someone hosts Xmas lunch and on that day we all come put the pressie under the tree and guess who bought it for us. Super fun! But my lounge room was full of wrapping paper last year 😂🤣

Only niece and nephews

Our MIL we do. I get 1 of my sisters something. Not my nieces or nephews who are all adults.

I gift my parents and nieces/nephew. My sibling and her spouse made it clear they aren’t giving gifts and only want gifts for their kids🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, but we do a lot of homemade gifts. Vanilla extract. Chapstick. Cinnamon sugar almonds. Whipped lotion. Puppychow. Dried fruit ornaments. Sugar scrubs. Or we'll get a deal on something. Like last year, we got the grandparents all picture magnets of our children.

Kiddos (nieces/nephews) get a card with a $5 bill, adult nieces and nephews get A Text 😂 (they had their time lol) and Parents/Grandmother get a gift, 2 older Aunts get an inexpensive gift.

Parents and nieces who are under 18

I have 2 siblings who have 3 kids each, so at Xmas we only buy gifts for the kids. I buy presents for my parents.
