I have six total, so the costs add up so fast when I'm buying for other family members too.
I'm trying to keep it around $20 each, it's pretty hard though.

We have 7 & are dealing with this now, ourselves. I like gifting experiences, but that seems harder for kids than adults. Sooo wish I hadn't procrastinated.

I only have one nephew and he's one month old. I bought him a $10 toy. That's it!

I have 1 with 4 on the way and I'm spending about 30-50 on them. Well and part of it is homemade so I don't 5hink those costs count.

We have 13 nieces and nephews (all on my husband's side!) So we try to keep it under $20 each so we don't go broke.

I only have one niece and I spent about 60. I would have spent less but the thing I wanted was out of stock, and the alternate product was a bit more.

No nieces or nephews yet, but we would spend around $100. My brothers typically spend that much on my daughter

$50ish. We have 6 between the two of us. I used to spend wayyyyy more.... I'm proud of myself for scaling down. Lol

I only have one niece-or-nephew-to-be, (due in March!).... dd got him or her a set of muslin security blankets that she adores. I think they were around $15.

I only have one so we spend about $250 - $300 on him.
ETA: this might change when we have children of our own. Right now I don't mind spoiling him.

We have three and would usually spend $50-$100 before we had DD, but this year it's under $50 each.

I have three and spend about $50 each. My sisters are very generous to my kids, and I try to reciprocate.

I have 2 nieces. One is a baby this year so I only spent like $10 on her. The other I spent about $50 cause she's 5 and fun to buy for.

Two nephews and I'm spending about $50 on each. One is my godson but I don't feel like I can spend more on him without dissing the other one.
I'm getting them both 3 month kiwi crate subscriptions thanks to this blog!

We have 5 on my side, plus my cousin's kid, and I spend $25-$30 on them. We have 1 on DH's side and we spend closer to $50.
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
$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.

Just Godkids & their siblings this year it will be 60-75 for each, there are five total. Last year we only saw one/ gifted one and spent about $200 for her & her brand new sister.

@MamaChin: We have 20 kids also! 18 on DH's side and 2 on my side. We have to budget for Christmas thoroughly.

Under £20, though my oldest Niece is 8 and it's getting harder to come in under budget!

We have 2, about $30. This year it was a pair of pajamas (black friday sale for $10!) and a small toy like Legos

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.

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.

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.

We spent $50 but we only have one. If we had a bunch we'd definitely spend less.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I get them Converse every year. I know it's what they need. Their parents can pick out their toys
