With the holidays coming around for most of us we might start seeing our favorite websites posting holiday gift lists and ideas... depending, I suppose, on the theme of the websites these gifts might be fixed into a specific price range that might be far higher or lower than you typically spend on a loved one. I guess it also depends on what kind of loved ones you have... so this got me curious to know what people think when they're reading articles that suggest buying their parent or their kid $1000 computer or buying their spouse a $35,000 car.
So without pressuring anyone to give out more personal information than they'd like to... I'm curious to know what kind of money they intend to spend on their...
Spouse...
Kids...
Parents...
Siblings...
Outside Relatives (Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grand-Parents, etc)...
Friends...
Pets...
By the way, I intentionally left girlfriend/boyfriend out of there because I guess that one all depends on how long you've been seeing them... To me once a relationship goes over the 6 month mark it tends to fall in line with the money I'd spend on a parent (which is the top of my list)... once it's a year it tends to be significantly higher than any other person but probably not as much as a spouse would be.
... and even if you don't want to say what you would spend or could afford to spend... it might be worth it to give your opinion on what you think is far too little or far too much. Also, I guess it's worth it to throw in your opinion on "It's the thought that counts" and "I don't believe in giving gifts, because..." if you have either or those values.
