So, I start off strong. I have a chit chat with my kids about not just 'asking for things for the sake of it'. To be mindful about this. They give me a really limited list. I power shop online and am done in a half hour. Then I start asking them for more ideas. I think I'm good and then I start wrapping and it doesn't look like a lot. Sigh. And then I get stupid and spend more money so there is more. It's my own fault. I couldn't place a dollar amount on it but I did spend less this year than previous years. :>))
