Hey guys,
Me and Mrs secret discussed a budget for eachother this year. She had said we will limit to £250 max! And I usually go slightly above, this made me wonder.. what’s your limits?

We’ve never really done limits as such. We don’t go silly though. This year we agreed on one thing each & the rest we spent on orders from LH throughout the year and getting our saved items

I’ve asked mine to make me something as that will mean more to me than anything monetary which I could buy myself…or something which takes no time or thought…

Small, meaningful things make the best impact. OTT spending is shallow.

We don’t really budget as such. Last Christmas I spend £2.5k on the wife because there was something specific that she had wanted for ages but wouldn’t let herself buy, so I made the decision for her and got it for Christmas. This year I’ve spend about £400 on her.
We never try to spend money for the hell of it, sometimes the small thoughtful things are the nicest. One of my best ever presents was a little pocket knife. I still use it every day on our farm after 15 years. It’s in my pocket right now. I think it was about £40.

We’ve never actually had spending limits but have generally been ‘sensible’ according to our income.
Since my wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s though all bets are off.
We have no idea how long we have together anymore so what she wants, she gets. Wherever she wants to go, she goes. No limits.

We don’t actually set a budget. For me, it’s not about how much it costs what he buys me, it’s the thought and meaning behind it. He’s always brought me something that is meaningful to me or us. And that means so much more to me than spending ridiculous amounts of money on something that looks pretty or has no meaning whatsoever behind it.

We have most things we need already.
This year she wants sleeper socks as her old ones are dying.
If we have something we need, we’ll get it. We often buy ourselves a joint present for the house/garden.

About ten years ago my oh decided she wanted a bread maker and had been going on for ages about one.
Christmas Day that year, that’s what she got. Didn’t get the amazing reaction I thought, no idea why she was dissatisfied with it.
I’ve learnt a lot since then

I could tally up our " budget" , some time in January . Years ago when our son was living at home and my daughter was far away and we were both working it could get crazy . My wife uses " retail therapy " all year long , so It is impossible for me to buy her a gift . If she wants something , she buys it . She has surprised me with something I did not directly ask for . I might have mentioned I was interested in something in mid summer . She bought an item that was not what I would have got . She got taken multiple times , but I dare not say anything . Now she mostly spends a bit heavy on several grand kids . Best guess is somewhere between $0 and $1,500 .

We used to set limits but our flat is so small it’s basically “if it’s not useful or edible, don’t buy it”.

We don’t really do presents. We buy things throughout the year when we see something we like. Sometimes separately, sometimes together. It’s shared money after all.
What we do buy for Christmas is a sex toy for use on each other. So last year, I bought me a big dildo, for use on his ass in pegging. He bought himself some metal gyno stuff for use on me. Works for us.

I’m so glad it’s a mixture, I do love the small and meaningful things, Iv spent quite a bit this year as she has found a love doing her journal in the evening and I bought her a lot of stuff so she can be super creative.
I just love spending time together, even though I will spend money to make others happy

I don’t set a limit, I just try to keep all the gifts around the same cost.

We’ve never set a budget, we both know what we can afford personally and it’s not the monetary value that matters ultimately! This year we are buying each other a weekend away which will be lovely - even if it is just a budget hotel! We might even take a few sexy outfits and toys so might not even leave the room!!!

Just a card with something from the heart written inside is all that is needed , none of us need a fur coat or designer shoes to survive but a few well written heart felt lines are remembered forever
Have a good christmas
