She asked this question as her children say they feel "hard done by"
Karen's children both have Christmas birthdays so she combines their presents. She explains how she spends around £500 in total for both birthdays and Christmas and then a few extras totaling around £700 on each child.
Her children expressed that they felt hard done by this arrangement.

£200 at xmas and £100 birthdays, they are only little but I expect as they get older it'll be more. won't spend what I can't afford EVER.

No more than £100. £150. 350 for each is such a lot of money!! We love Christmas and always have. Presents are ALWAYS secondary.

Birthdays about £500/700 each incl parties, and Christmas £100 or under each this year! Before was about the same but just not needed x
