For the immediate family- we set a limit of £10 ($15) for christmas gifts. But that goes by the board in certain cases. My Granddaughter has had a few "Necessities" in the last 6 months- The Car seat and a play centre to go on it- A high chair that was needed and a few other essentials. One of those essentials was a Trike. Well had to get her her first bike to put her on the right track. Then the wife needed a Good winter outdoor coat. Pointless getting her a cheap one as it won't last long. Got her a Northface lined and waterproof and being the cheap skate that I am- Got a good discount on it. Two son-in-laws are getting the £10 limit though but My daughters are getting Kitchen Tools. Then they might invite me round for dinner to show me how well they work.

Just hope the wife realises that my Gloves are going to cost over the limit.
