My Oldest Grandson and his wife just had a baby - my first GreatGrandSon!!!!

Like many young couples, they are struggling somewhat - they have one older car that has not been the most reliable.

I bought them a 2 yr old Ford Explorer (certified used) for Christmas - had it delivered and with a Red Bow on top -

I'm not even telling my wife how much "we" spent!!!

This year my son and his wife got the "big" one. Since they had a child in Sept and he is in Iraq and is going to miss all the cool stuff that happens the 1st year, we bought them a camcorder with all the trimmings.
The total came to approx $900.00.

Normally we wouldn't do that but hey...1st year stuff only comes once.

Sent home a Disney trip (tickets, confirmations & itineraries) for mom, sis & niece one year. Have no idea now how much it was all together. Arranged hotel ... getting them down there, via telephone all a la carte back in those pre-historic- Internet days.

Another Disney trip for Mom a few years later. I paid in installments along with mine, so really forget. Guess I'm senile.
Oh, PRICELESS!!

Gave my parents trip to Hawaii one year. My brother and I split the cost of 2 round trip/accomodations/tours for them. They added a second week and had the vacation of their lifetime!

Nye, the most I've spent on a single gift was $360 - and that was for a Halo Edition XBox 360.

We all chipped in and bought my son a 32" HDTV this year. As the mom, I chipped in the most

....but he was real happy even though he didn't even rate a cheap additional stocking stuffer for Christmas morning.

Actually it's a Christmas present for myself a cellphone worth $249

The most I've ever spent is probably well under 100. I'm as frugal as they come and buy things on sale during the year so that I don't have huge price tags to cover come Christmas and Chanukkah.
