    Around 50-75 but we only have (and will only ever have) 2 nieces. We are very close with them.

    @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.

    Y'all are generous! The grandkids draw names and we still only spend around $20.

    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!

    @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!

    We have nine between DH and I. Depending on their ages/wants/needs, we usually spend $25-50/each.

    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).

    We have 18 nieces and nephews and 12 great nieces and nephews. We don't exchange gifts. Thank God.

    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.

    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.

    I spend a little more on my sister's girl (over my husband's sisters' kids), and I often will make her things. Mainly because my sister appreciates it more than my SILs.
