How many presents?

Question

Question, how many presents do you give per kid for Christmas? Also, if you do Santa what is your Santa to parents ratio? I was thinking about 5 per kid from mom and dad and then 3-4 from Santa making it 8-9 presents total per kid(2 kids). I’m worried that’s not enough and then also worried it’s too much lol just wondering what everyone else does. Also, my kids are still little so I’m not spending crazy money on electronics or anything.

Answer

We don't really go by number of presents per kid. We set a budget per kid. We spend the same amount on all of them. So much easier to track it that way.

IM thinking the same, i mean go big or go home ? 😂 Also, i was the person who allways said “ i’m not going to buy a lot of toys for my kid because i see a lot of kids with many many toys and they arent playing with them”. Guess what ? SOME years later…i am That parent who buys A LOT of toys 😂😂 ABOUT electronics and so because my bby is 13 months, but still. I just cant stop 😂

Answer

I’ve got my 2 year old one big main present, a play kitchen, and then about 5 smaller cheap things. Just like little dinosaur toys and a little pram for her doll. She will also get something from both grandparents and both uncles so probably will end up with about 10ish things altogether from the whole family. I’ll probably just say they are all from Santa as shes not really quite got that understanding yet of Christmas / Santa. Compared to most of my friends with children who buy loads, its probably not classed as a lot. Probably just an average amount, not sure but I dont think it matters. Some children round the world dont get anything so do whatever you want and what your budget allows.

Answer

Do what you want! Not whats best for others. I wont even say how many gifts ive bought for my son. I have gone way overboard. But i dont care. I love it and i cant stop lol. And hes getting one small item from santa, its a book set . He will always get only one smaller thing from santa.

Answer

Do what you want. It may vary year to year. 
Our kids are 1 and 2. The 1 year old doesn’t understand or care. The 2 year is just starting to understand. Money is also tight since we JUST bought a house. 
They are getting 1 present each from Santa (a wooden tool box and kinetic sand with tractors). And 1 big present from mom and dad (sand and water picnic table). 
They each get a stocking from Santa. 
They will get presents from grandparents, aunts/uncle, and a few others.

Answer

Santa brought ONE gift from their list, and not a big one. The rest are from us. We don’t count the gifts, I’d say it’s 8 to 10 max per kid.

Answer

Mine are different with ages. We do like half and half from santa. My 11 Y/O has 11 gifts, my 3 Y/O has 9 and my 1 Y/O has 4

Answer

We ended up getting each of our kids one big gift and then anywhere from 5-8 smaller things, and a stocking. I don’t go so much on number but rather try to be intentional and get them things or experiences that I know they’ll need anyway like clothes, books, shoes, camping gear etc

Answer

You do what you want and can afford. My 7 year old gets over 100 presents from his dads and I. We don’t do Santa because I don’t want to lie to him. Don’t compare yourself to others. You do what you’re comfortable with.

Answer

Each of my kids will get one gift. My son, who is 2,5 is spoiled by his dad, he gets him toys every week, so he will not be impressed anyway.
