lets cut to the chase: how much did you spend on LO for xmas?

EJS425 · December 2009

we think its around 350 - about 200 on toys & 150 on clothes.

phishphood · December 2009

I think about $100, but it's probably closer to $150.

TheFannins729 · December 2009

hmmm....about $40.

skaplan000 · December 2009

$40, so that means she is getting a $200 for her savings.

mommyofg · December 2009

We spent about $35. I wanted to spend so much more but had a huge unexpected expense come up. I'm going crazy because I haven't been able to buy her clothes in a couple weeks!

L is about ready to change sizes so we needed to get a bunch of 12-18mo stuff which is why we spent so much on clothes

megontoast · December 2009

so far, $0... see post below. LOL

I won't spend more than $50, though.

I'm just addicted to buying her clothes. lol.

Jes.Pup · December 2009

$100...we kept it low because he will be getting so much from family.

shari_rngleson · December 2009

$40. one toy and one santa hat!

lwrigley2000 · December 2009

More than I ever expected to or realized I did!

Including the ornament and stocking probably close to $150.

NY-allie · December 2009

Christmas specifically about $40. (But this month I also got him about $50 worth of clothing in the next size that I'm not bothering to call a christmas gift).

christiney06 · December 2009

coppers_wifey · December 2009

Way too much! Probably close to $200 if I had to guess. Don't tell my husband.

For future reference you should never start buying clearance items for LO in August.

Beccaboo0713 · December 2009

Um..maybe about 70.

*sallymad* · December 2009

about $50. She got a sensory ball, wiffle balls, two hand puppets lotion and wipes.

brooketini · December 2009

Around $60 on Christmas, about $90 on her birthday (12/31). I am scared to think about how much stuff she's going to get from grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

lemen99 · December 2009

about $35

bparkhur · December 2009

Right around 200...too much...

MrsRush · December 2009

Oh boy- I spent $350+ on toys and clothes- and DH bought LO his first train which was $300. So a total of over $600. And DH still wanted to spend more and get him his first sled which was $200 and I said wait till next year. Craziness.

VAannie · December 2009

$18 on a minky ribbon lovey on Etsy.com. And that's it.

jacksjerseygirl · December 2009

Uh let's just say Grant is one spoiled kid and many items will be going up and brought out at a later date for birthday or as they are developmentally appropriate.

We bought a lot of stuff we planned to anyway or that he 'needed' - we also ended up buying a lot because of the 50% of target sale.

I think we have spent about 600-800 (would have been 1000 had it not been for target and their sale lol).

goodheartedmommy · December 2009

I spent under $100 total. I spend money on them all year round, and there is nothing my children could need or want. They got some puzzles and books. Of course, they're getting craploads from the grandparents of the fun stuff for their homes, so they have dolls and cars and such to open.

labooshki · December 2009

$100. His birthday is a month later so I didn't want to go nuts.

eminbmore · December 2009

So far we've spent $78 - that was on toys from the Target sale. I wouldn't be surprised if we spend around $300 more.

TheMRS0127 · December 2009

haha omg. I would say right around 90 total. I spent 51 on toys and 36 on clothes.

Mr. & Mrs. RN · December 2009

$0 so far. I just buy her what she needs. I don't see the point in her opening gifts this year other than for the purpose of photos/memories. We used grammy's gifts for that purpose. I'll probably buy a few toys, but won't wrap them.

bnljane1988 · December 2009

LMAO.

Why don't you just ask what disposeable cash people have or what they choose to charge....or what of each they decide to spend on their LO's?

grinsandgiggles · December 2009

Too much...let's see....about $140 on toys and probably about $100 on clothes.

Rinnie · December 2009

on my boys we spent approximately 100.00 total.

On my DD - who is almost 3 - we spent about 200.00. But we bought a lot of educational toys - like flash cards etc... So we are totally okay with it.

jolis_petits_bijoux · December 2009

We spent about 100-125 on toys (not exactly sure, he got a lot of small things) and 100 on clothes. We decided to take it easy this year - he'll be spoiled enough by his grandparents (he is the only grandchild on both sides and they practically shower him with gifts). He is already getting a big ticket item from each set of grandparents, in addition to smaller toys and clothes... we probably could have gotten away with getting him nothing at all!
