try this formula:





child's age in years x 10 = $ total cost for xmas gift for that yr.





exceptions: if the child decides to save the total cost for xmas gift for that year, then double the amount and put it in an ING account or IRA or other long-term account.
Reply:Shes your baby so you can spend what you want on her but remember considering shes barely gonna be 1 she won't even remember it. But as long as you know your limits its your money and your baby so you decide.
Reply:You are the one who sets the limit. But remind yourself that you want your child to understand that Christmas isn't about gifts it is about family and sharing and giving.
Reply:Birthday so close %26amp; only one child do $100-$200. We spend 400-500 per child they are older though
Reply:At 1, she wont know the difference anyway. Keep it simple.
Reply:id spend about 40 or 50 bucks..shes not really going to remember it..so its no big deal...2nd christmas is better cause she'll be 2 and remember it more..and get more excited..by her a few toys and she'll be happy
Reply:A child that young a) won't remember and b) doesn't care about presents.





It's not kids that are expensive, it's PARENTS.
Reply:too much? anything above zero. give her a loaf of bread from the pantry, then 15 seconds later when shes forgotten about it, you will have a loaf of bread and still have your money. amazing!
