I only buy for DH and the kids, and we do a small gift for my parents (usually it's a new toy for the tree + cake). Oh, and gift cards for DS and DD1's teachers. erinbaderin on "Who do you buy for?

My husband’s family all lives overseas and for some reason we just don’t do gifts with them. ALV91711 on "Who do you buy for?

Baked good for another 10+ families Then I grab 5 generic gifts to have in case something pops up, and it feels like something always does. It's way too many people. But it is what it is. We budget for it all year and work really hard to find affordable gifts that will be loved. Becky on "Who do you buy for?
