With three children, I spend app. $500 each on the two younger ones (ages 19 and 17). This also includes needed items such as pajamas, slippers, gloves, etc. My older daughter lives on her own, with a SO. I will spend about $250 on her. Does anyone else a have an older child where you feel badly not as much is spent, but they are now adults?

I have a list I keep most of the year, writing down things I notice someone needs or wants. Early Nov., I start looking for sales and checking things off the list. I am done about the first week in Dec., then I just enjoy going out to the stores, taking in the holidays, picking up odds and ends. I'm the type who would make myself crazy otherwise.

I don't like the ones I've tried but I've never had a truly homemade one. Perhaps they taste much better?
