I am trying to figure out what to get my 11 year old step-daughter. She isn't really into clothes and it is so hard to find her anything without her trying them on. She usually asks for something but every time we get her something she asked for she never seems to use it. We got her a ipod nano for her birthday it lasted like 2 weeks and hasn't been used since. She already has too many board games, but she does like computer games. My dad was giving me his old laptop for Christmas, so I figured I would give her my laptop, which there is nothing wrong with in. My husband said that it is not right to give her something used so I guess we will just say she can have it and not be part of Christmas. We have about 200 dollars to spend on her. I was just wondering how much everyone spends on Christmas gifts, we usually spend about 400 or more and this year we just don't have the money.


How about decorations for her bedroom. Picture frames, nice pillows, a funky lamp or light fixture, posters, chimes or mobiles to hang in her room. My DD is much more into what her space looks like now and she is quite happy to receive decorating items. If you are looking for something bigger maybe a comforter set you know she'd like if her Mom would be okay with that. I know some parents are prickly.
As for the amount I think if you have $200 that's plenty. I usually spend more but I only have one kid and if I didn't have the money she'd get less.
I usually spend about $250 per kid.
