Mainly because my sister appreciates it more than my SILs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984271 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:20:08 +0000 IRunForFun 1984271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have 1 and I spent $30 on his gift. I'd spend more if I had it, but I think $50 is a reasonable limit in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984263 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:12:24 +0000 winniebee 1984263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30-50 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984252 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 18:48:08 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1984252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 3 nieces, their gifts range from $30-45. Then all the adults do a secret santa gift exchange every year for around $100 so that helps with costs not having to buy for everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984150 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 16:24:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1984150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 18 nieces and nephews and 12 great nieces and nephews. We don't exchange gifts. Thank God. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984115 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:52:55 +0000 pui 1984115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have 2 nieces thus far. This year I spent about $80 each. We're not doing gifts for adults this year, just children, so I could spend more on them (which personally makes more sense to me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984109 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 15:49:34 +0000 bushelandapeck 1984109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have nine between DH and I. Depending on their ages/wants/needs, we usually spend $25-50/each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984051 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 14:22:09 +0000 MamaChin 1984051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: actual nieces/nephews, only 2. But we're a big close knit family so kids of cousins also count. Plus some of them are godchildren so they get more spendy gifts. It's a nightmare financially but we love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1984014 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 13:42:55 +0000 farawayyama 1984014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 3 nephews, a niece and a sister 20 years younger. We have a lot of other family we buy for too and are on a low income (yay grad school!) so set it to $10 each. I shop all year and shop sales, so always give far more than $10 retail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1983939 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:27:49 +0000 photojane 1983939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'all are generous! The grandkids draw names and we still only spend around $20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1983909 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:06:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1983909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: 20 nieces/nephews?!? Oh my gosh!! That's crazy lol. Do you have a lot of siblings? I have five siblings, but so far only two others are married with kids, the other three are still pretty young. I guess it could easily get to 20 someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews/page/2#post-1983904 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 12:01:10 +0000 travellingbee 1983904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 50-75 but we only have (and will only ever have) 2 nieces. We are very close with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983887 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 11:37:00 +0000 youboots 1983887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them Converse every year. I know it's what they need. Their parents can pick out their toys ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983805 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:27:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1983805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six we are gifting, $25-$50 each depending on age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983803 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:26:24 +0000 NCSUchick27 1983803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have one niece and we spent around $70 on her this Christmas. We like to spoil her as we don't have any children of our own yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983797 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:19:56 +0000 artsyfartsy 1983797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About $50 because she's my only niece. When I have more I'll cut back. But my sister and I like to spoil each other's only children. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983782 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:08:18 +0000 Smurfette 1983782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also buy for the 9(one still in utero but we get a gift) kids of my cousins. They call us aunt and uncle. For them we spend $15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983781 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:08:05 +0000 lawbee11 1983781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one niece but her bday is a couple weeks before Christmas. I spent around $25 on her bday present and $25 on her Christmas present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983779 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:07:14 +0000 Mae 1983779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spent $50 but we only have one. If we had a bunch we'd definitely spend less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983777 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:06:26 +0000 catlady 1983777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do between $50 and $75 usually. We only have two so it's not too bad. SIL spoils LO so honestly she probably still spends more than us even though we have one kid and she has two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983775 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:03:14 +0000 alohaorchid 1983775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one niece and one nephew and we spent around $60 on each of them this year. We used to spend much more but decided that this was the year to tone it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983774 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:01:55 +0000 Kimberlybee 1983774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It ranges from $30-$100. We spend more on Godchildren and their siblings. I have one niece who is an only child so we usually gift her a $100 gift card to her favorite store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983764 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 08:51:05 +0000 blackbird 1983764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 2, about $30. This year it was a pair of pajamas (black friday sale for $10!) and a small toy like Legos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983762 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 08:48:23 +0000 illumina 1983762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under £20, though my oldest Niece is 8 and it's getting harder to come in under budget! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983755 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 08:46:32 +0000 Kimberlybee 1983755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaChin: We have 20 kids also! 18 on DH's side and 2 on my side.

Last year we only saw one/ gifted one and spent about $200 for her &amp; her brand new sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983742 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 08:33:09 +0000 Smurfette 1983742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$30-$40 range for all 4. This year my nephews were around $35 and DH was $60 (membership) for both. I might buy them some clothes if the so they have something to open if the membership doesn't get here by Friday, when we are leaving to go down there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-niecesnephews#post-1983731 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 08:13:48 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1983731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 5 on my side, plus my cousin's kid, and I spend $25-$30 on them.
