My brother always spends more on us but our gifts to him are thoughtful and usually handmade. I think time spent on a gift goes a long way if you can't spend as much as others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37529 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:42:59 +0000 Rubies 37529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: She got you the rocker?!?! SO AWESOME. I think that because she's your cousin, you can accept very graciously and feel blessed without feeling guilty. And like @Andrea said, send her something extra special for her birthday or out of the blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37521 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:39:47 +0000 Boogs 37521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always set budgets for ourselves and we stick to it no matter what, so if they want to spend more that's fine but we don't go over our personal limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37517 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:38:28 +0000 autumnlove 37517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will feel bad but make it up later...make them desserts, buy a nicer b-day gift, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37515 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:37:56 +0000 Andrea 37515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would just get them back next time or give them something out of the blue to try and make up for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37511 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:36:18 +0000 chopsuey 37511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin bought my LO a rocker (I posted it on my fb!) It costs $120+tax+shipping! She has stuff for me too. I bought her a pair of earrings. Felt bad she spent so much so ordered a gift certificate for her too. -.- </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37508 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:35:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 37508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stick with my original gift because I have a strict budget for Christmas. I try not to feel bad about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37506 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:34:34 +0000 Rubies 37506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends who it is...What happened? Someone buy you a car? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gifts-part-deux#post-37499 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:32:23 +0000 chopsuey 37499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do when someone spends WAY more on gifts for your fam than you spent on them? Like triple the amount.<br /> Get them something else too? </p> <p>I thought I was done with my Christmas shopping! Feeling stressed SIX days before Christmas! </p>
