abentley Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I hit over 58 due a branchy family tree, friends, 5 kids, kids friends, employees and my co-workers. For the most part I really enjoy shopping for them all there are a couple "funsuckers" in the bunch though that are more obligatory gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokanm Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 one of my coworkers comes from a family of 12 kids. They now draw names as buying for 11 sibs, their spouses, their kids and plus the parents etc gets way out of hand. On Thanksgiving they pick names out of a hat and that is the person they buy for. They all buy for their parents or they chip in and buy them one big gift. Is that something you can do, in order to cut back? I would be in the poor house for sure. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brynnfromtheblock Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Can't you bake some cookies or something for some of the people? 58 is sure a lot. I would say I have 20 something and that is more than enough for me.My family has always been big on gifts and the major ones are my mom, 3 kids, dh, grandma, brothers and their kids.... then you add on good friends, their kids, teachers and it gets up there...the other problem is on Christmas Eve we have a huge party which is where we exchange gifts with everyone but my mom and brothers families ('cause we see each other the next day)... so I give my best friends kids and cousins kids stuff at the same time.. but then you have all these other kids who see this and they're not getting anything so you feel bad and get something for them too.... then it works out the same with adults.. you keep thinking "it's just a few people that didn't get anything, let me get something small" and it's like a chain reaction (actually with some of these people it's more than 58 'cause I really didn't even count them on the list!!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Well, we buy for 16 family members and then kids' friends, teachers, coworkers, and neighbors. Some of those are people that I will probably just make goodie baskets for. Others are ones who will get baskets made from the great deals at Bath & Body Works that I have gotten through out the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunniq Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 In the past over 70 people. I come from a very large family! DH not so large. We are cutting back starting this year. This year are sticking with close family, friends, and a Secret Santa from DH's work. The number this year is closer to 20, and we are making a donation in the name of our family to a local charity.

Seems manageable compared to some of these lists!how much to you all spend on the 56 and 70 gift list... you guys must be broke after thatLast year, including gifts DH and I got for each other, we spent a little under $800.00. (Gotta love finding deals!) I would say without the deals we were able to find, the amount would have been over $1000.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
