In the past it's been more, but the past couple of year's we've kept it around $200 per person. We don't have kids, or it would probably be much less.

Before kids:  like $300 plus...

After kids:  $100 typical year- $200 good year

Humm... I always thought I spent a lot on my hubby.  But I'm right around other girls at $200.  A buy a big gift usually $60-$100 and then little stuff and stocking items.  I like to spoil him

Although we havnt actually discussed how much we spend on each other for Christmas, it seems to always be about $200ish. Like the other poster, we dont have children yet. Once we do, Im sure it will be lots lower if at all.

This year $100 each. We're buying a house the week before Christmas so that's our big gift to each other.

It's been $200 for us. Mostly because last yr. was our first christmas married and I wanted uggs so that set the limit we are sticking to that this year as well. We don't have kids otherwise it would probably be less. If we had kids I'd get him like a pack of gum I'd be too busy buying cute kid stuff!

Since we just spent a good chunk of change on our wedding two months ago, our limit is $150 this year.  Sigh...I guess I won't be getting my Ugg's.

Wow, we're cheap compared to yall.  In the years past, we've set a $75 limit.  Last year, we opted gifts and bought 3-4 sets of nice new sheets that we really needed.  This year, we bought a $300 treadmill that is our gift.  (much more than our $75 budget)

I think the main thing is what you can afford.

The past few years money has been tight so we've only had a $50 budget, but money is better this year so our limit is $300!

Hubby is getting a PS3 and I'm getting a KitchenAid stand mixer.
I cannot wait!

In the past it was always around $200. This year because we just got married and we're going to be buying a house in the next month we're only buying a few little things for each other, really no more than $20. We'd both much rather have a house and a couple dogs, than to drop a bunch of money on christmas gifts.

This is our 3rd Xmas together, and I want to say that in the past, we've spent about $300 on each other. This year I couldn't think of a big gift I wanted, or wanted to get him, so I suggested that we just get each other a couple of smaller gifts and replace the cabinets in the kitchen. But, now he's talking about building a new house--about 5 years early!

I can't come up with a gift that big!

Usually, we spend around $200 each. We give each other wish lists and choose gifts off of the lists.
