We usually spend about $100 but I have already spent $170 
...it may not seem like a lot but feels like a bit much to me...I just kept finding awesome stuff and lost track. I might save some of it for his birthday.
What's your budget?

25-50 his birthday is the beginning of the month so I keep it cheap and spoil the kids!
Edited to add that I spend more on his birthday presents.

We do not exchange Christmas presents, or birthday presents, currently. For Christmas, we usually get $100 each to buy things off our own Amazon wish lists. We still get presents from and for family. For my birthday, he helps me set up my classroom (2 full days worth of work). For his birthday, I plan a 4-day vacation weekend combined with Thanksgiving.

Since we've had kids I like to cap it around $100 but DH cannot stay on budget to save his life. Its the only time of year he gives me.lots of gifts and I appreciate the thought behind it but I really prefer he stay on budget lol
-
0-25. She'll be 9 months old, and getting a shit ton from her grandparents, so I think she'll be okay with some lovely toys we got on Buy Nothing as gifts from us/Santa.
-
40-50$. We really don't need much
-
We don't have a spending cap, but we only do stockings at Christmas for everyone, including LO. So we're limited on size and quantity (though I guess I could fill a stocking up with loose diamonds and spend millions).
I added it up, and I think DH's stocking gifts this year will probably cost around $30 - $40.
-
You should have an option for no budget. I just get him what I think he'll like.
-
@Meowkers: Fixed.

We're pretty frugal year round but at Christmas we get each other a much longed for luxury item. Last year I got my husband a fancy watch. This year it'll probably be a leather briefcase. Neither of us are the type to buy things for ourselves- so it's a big treat. We're much more conservative with birthday spending and we don't exchange anniversary gifts.
That said, my favorite gift from him is every Christmas he fills my stocking with smart wool socks. They're the best!
-
My gift to DH this year is our baby girl. Priceless!
-
This year it's $150. Last year it was $100.
-
I don't set a specific budget, but I tend to only buy one or two reasonably priced things.
-
I dint set a budget either, but we get one big gift a year for birthday, anniversary and Christmas.
-
We don't set a budget...we don't really do gifts for birthdays or anniversaries (we usually go to a nice dinner) so we do a bit more for Christmas.
-
We don't really do gifts anymore but I still like to have the girls make him something. I keep total cost under $25.
-
About $30. That's what is in the actual Christmas budget, but we can supplement with our own spending money.
-
We usually don't buy bday gifts for each other, so Christmas is when we buy gifts. We haven't talked budget this year, but I am thinking $200. Although he always goes over, which is good for my gift
-
We don't have a budget for Christmas gifts, we just get each other a few nice things!
-
This year is $0. I took a trip earlier this month with a friend and he bought basketball season tickets so we both agreed those were an early Christmas presents to help offset the cost.
-
We set a budget and thats the amount I take out of our joint account for each of us to buy each other gifts... if we want to spend more than that we have to use our personal spending money
-
We usually don't have a budget - just get him something I think he'd like (and also some clothes and random little things). This year, we're closing on our new home 12/15 so I don't think there will be much of a Christmas!
-
We usually just do stockings (so under $50). Our anniversary is close to Christmas and we both prefer experience-type gifts so we go out to dinner and a show or on a mini-vacation usually. This year we're going to a fancy dinner then the Nutcracker.
-
We don't have an exact budget. I usually keep it under $150.
-
We do stockings only and keep it under $100
-
We don't exchange most of the time for special occassions. If we spend money, we'd rather put it towards an experience/vacation or financial goal we are working towards.
ETA: I did get him something for his 30th since I felt that was a milestone occasion. I got him long undershirts and a watch battery (both specifically requested) and he said it was the best gift he's ever gotten. He's easy to please, ha!
