I buy my kids a couple things but then the biggest part of their Christmas presents are experiences. They are old enough that their memories together mean more than things.

In my head, I start with a "set amount" and then I just keep buying and buying and buying..... Christmas is the one thing I have zero self-control with. I need an intervention!

Hi Mrs P! Awesome savings today and way to find ways to pull money to your over spend. We don't have a set amount per person but it might help with keeping on track. Ive always just done it so everyone has the same amount of gifts but now that my kids are all getting older they are more understanding of cost rather than even amounts of presents 🤣

I've always found it so hard to make sure everyone has a fair amount of gifts... and I start out every single year saying that I am only going to spend "x" amount on each person... but then I keep buying and buying. I really have no self-control. Since both of my boys are truly adulting well on their own and have their own places to live, I will see if they can give me one big gift idea for them and their girlfriends.

You’re right, I forgot!! Yikes!!! I remembered I had an IOU, but then got distracted counting the money. I’ll add $4 in next week! Thanks for the heads up! I will put the IOU back on the challenge 🤪

Maybe you could give some thought to how much of your Christmas budget belongs to the Washington trip, and how much of the trip is actually a Christmas gift. Also consider that as you will not be at home, a lot of your entertainment and ordinary expenses, even that week's grocery budget, can be reassigned to the trip.

This is such a great suggestion. I am definitely reconsidering how I will do my Christmas/Trip funds. You are right, I can also apply regular expenses to the trip budget.

Hi, what exactly is KZitem Hop? IMO, the Cmas money you have saved $1600 should go toward your trip to Washington. My daughters are 21, 23 and 25 and we only do stockings for them (albeit nice stuff) and no other gifts. The most precious gift is our time together, as two live out of province. Just set the expectation, you’ll have a lot less pressure. When I did purchase gifts, they all go the same $ amount, no matter the number of gifts - fair for everyone.

That is definitely something to think about! The only thing is that I still have my other son, his girlfriend, and my nieces and nephews.... and my daughter. I will definitely see how I can spend less on Christmas this year, as you are very right about Christmas should be about the time together.

Just thinking outside of the box here. I don't know the situation of your airport, but is there somewhere local where you can park your car for free and then take an Uber to the airport? I have done this with public transport before, but it really depends on the location of the airport. If it is possible it could save money. Prices are so high to park there.

I use the Atlanta airport and we live over two hours away. If I had my husband with me, I wouldn’t have minded using one of the parking lots that are not affiliated with the airport and shuttle passengers back and forth… but since it was just my daughter and myself, I wanted to be as close to the airport as possible, especially because we arrived super early and left super late at night. I’m a scaredy cat in the big cities!
