I will try to spend less, with all the sales I hope to be able to duplicate the quality and amount of gifts from last year, spending the same or maybe a little less

I spend about the same as last year. This year everyone on my list got snuggies(haha). But my mom is getting somethings different from the others. I would love to win this tote because I never win anything.

My husband and I will be spending less money on gifts this year as opposed to last year. We are trying to spend less on our monthly budget as well.

We are going to be spending much less than last year. Our financial situation, because of the economy has changed greatly. My husband lost one of his job and my hours were cut and we've been hit with some very unexpected bills to add to the problem. So, we're spending a lot less and even our kids know that there will be less under the tree this year. What a great prize by the way. Thanks so much for offering this.
# November 20, 2009 4:23 PM

Marilyn Wons said:

I will spend the same amount of money as last year. Since I only buy for one person there is no factor that goes into the money decision. I also always buy way before the holiday season when items I desire are on sale.

I will definitely spend less money than last year as I have been unemployed for a year now. I've entered for and won a bunch of stuff online which I will be using as gifts. Thanks for the giveaway!

I will definitely be spending less on Christmas this year than I did last year. I've always used credit cards for Christmas shopping, and will not be doing that this year.

T. Y. M. said:

I'll be spending more money this year. Although the economy hasn't quite picked up, I feel the holidays are a chance to really show your family and friends how much you care about them - although you can do this year-round! When you select a gift for someone, you're telling that person you know their likes and dislikes and you value them in your life. While you don't have to spend tons of money on gifts, your gift selection says a lot about you as well... how much thought did you put into the gift? will it be something that they enjoy? So while material things shouldn't always equate with your love or care for someone, they are a factor - and a gift, whether you spend a lot or a little is an important token of love/friendship. So I, for one, am going all out this year!
# November 20, 2009 5:15 PM

Marilyn Gammon said:

I will spend about the same on gifts to individuals however will probably cut back on extra decorations etc
# November 20, 2009 5:16 PM

Rosemary said:

My spending habbits change from year to year. I do not buy gifts just to buy, I buy them for people I care about. I need to make sure the gift fits th person and I do not always know what the price is at the time. I want ot make people smile and get them something that will put a smile on their face and warm their hearts. you can not put a spendng limit on that.

# November 20, 2009 5:19 PM

Erika Felt said:

I am spending quite a bit less. I operate a licensed in-home child care/preschool and sadly, when families are tightening their budgets, they tend to send their children to family for free instead of spending on their children's early development :( I have 4 boys, so this holiday will be focused on them and the few children that are enrolled in my program. Even though money is tight for everyone here, my great families have all donated PJ's to the Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive so that children in homeless shelters, foster homes, etc. will have new PJs and a new book for the holiday! Can't lie, I would love to have this bag! What a treat :)
# November 20, 2009 5:22 PM

Caroline said:

We will probably be spending a little less. I've lost some income due to a move and change of job. We're trying to control our spending and direct money toward more essential stuff.
# November 20, 2009 5:27 PM

Sheri said:

I will definitely be spending more. Even though the economy is down it does not mean that the amount of people expecting gifts will also decrease. It's the one time during the year when you just have to close your eyes and hand over your credit card. But I must say Holidays are the rewarding time to buy gifts.
# November 20, 2009 5:27 PM

Jennifer said:

Probably less since we bought some things on our wishlist earlier!
# November 20, 2009 5:28 PM

With all of the holiday pre-sales and black-friday discounts that are going on I can definitely say that there will be more gifts and less money being spent this holiday season. I can definitely use a new Coach purse this holiday season....Happy Shopping Everyone!!!
# November 20, 2009 5:28 PM

Julia Schneider said:

I will be spending LESS amount of money on holiday shopping this year in comparison with last year. One of the major factors is that my husband has now been unemployed for over a year. In the course of the year bills have been creeping up and are harder to deal with. I will be encouraging being resourceful and giving creative and from the heart gifts. Hoping to use the advice of great finds like your blog to it's fullest potential.
# November 20, 2009 5:36 PM

Victoria said:

I'll spend about the same this year just because I've been saving up for several months knowing that this year will be more difficult since I haven't found a full-time job and have just been working temp.
# November 20, 2009 5:43 PM

Susan Gaghan said:

It looks like less money this year...money is very tight, and it just feels better to be frugal!

Suzanne Q said:

I am unemployed and have been for almost a year. I am completely broke and trying to get temp gigs when I can find them just to be able to eat and keep a roof over my head. This year has been cruel to me, but I'm hoping that next year will be better. My 3-legged dog feels the same way. Happy Holidays to everyone!

I think we will be spending less! We've decided Christmas is for the children in the family so only they will be gettting gifts! I don't know if I will send cards either since we are trying to makes ends meet. MY job has been deleted as I like to put it as a by product of the economy!

I'll be spending a less this year. My job was eliminated last Nov (08) but I was given severance pay & had vacation. So I spent a little less than usual. But this year, I'm still not working, so there will only be gifts for the grandchildren! But from what I've heard (family-wise) no one is complaining. It seems NO ONE has extra money!

I always try to spend less, but with the kids getting older ,there are less and less toys under the tree it becoomes tougher! The older ones want clothes from Abercrombie, Uggs, and the like while the younger ones still want toys. Gone are the days when a big family gift and smaller things to fill in are gone. But it is still my favorite time of year. I love getting together with family and friends to celebrate and catch up.

I am trying to spend less but will most likely end up about the same. My family is big and just can't seem to cut costs when Christmas arrives. My husband and I will not exchange gifts this year so the kids can hae a few things we really want. But this Coach - oh my! Been drooling over one of these for many moons now. Maybe Santa will surprise me . . . tvollowitz at aol dot com

Its such a great feeling!

I calculate I will be spending less than I did last year only because I will be on Family Leave and won't be getting a steady paycheck, (my mom is going through her last treatments of chemo) so I really have to watch how much I spend because I wouldn't want to fall behind on my regular bills. Its cash only and when I have it. I love coach and already told my husband don't worry about gifts for each other, lets just focus on our families.

I be more selective with my purchases this year. No "stuff" for the sake of getting "stuff" to fill under the tree. I am also planning on shopping more on line than in stores (to save time) but will look for deals like free shipping to save. My holiday shopping will have a more thoughtful approach this year. I will really think about what people need vs. what people want.

Sadly, I have to respond that we will be spending less money this year for our holiday shopping. We love to make Christmas festive and we want to provide our 3 young children with the gifts that they want and also with some things they need, but we just don't have the money this year. Instead, the kids are going to get one item they really want, and more items that they need, like new winter coats. We will try and make the holidays festive by focusing on Christmas music, outdoor activities and baking goodies. On a side note, I have always dreamed of owning a classic and forever gorgeous handbag from Coach. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect Coach bag as the one offered in this giveaway. It is so feminine, chic and will stand the test of time in terms of always giving your outfits that complete, polished and very sophisticated look. Thanks so much for the chance to ener.

I'll be spending about the same or a little more, the older my kids get the more expensive their toys are! :)

Marilyn Root said:

We will spend about the same amount on gifts, but, even now that is very limited. Instead, we apportion more money for gifts to charities that provide food, shelter, or clothing to the increasing numbers of those in need. We've redirected our charitable giving in this way and will continue to do this.

I'll be spending a little less this year, because our family is moving to a new place, so it's taken a lot more money than expected. Cute purse! Thanks for the chance.

Denise B. said:

We don't spend much on presents; and, what we do buy, we buy on sale combined with a coupon. We like, especially for our children, to celebrate what Christmas is really all about--not about presents. Plus, we have everything we really need.

We will certainly be spending less this holiday season. Household income is down approx 25% and expenses are up. Disappointing as I LOVE (going overboard and) shopping for the holidays. Positive in that we will be focusing more on each other. My family has pulled together well through a tough year.

My income has been drastically cut by this economic downturn. I did buy some gifts early in the year on sale which means I have fewer to buy but I will spend half as much this year at least. I have had to become a much more creative thinker in so far as choosing gifts this year. What a beeyootiful bag! This is a fabulous giveaway. Thanks.

I am spending less. Times are tough and my husband got a pay cut. We will only give gifts to the kids this year.

I did not see my comment posted so I am going to comment again just in case. I will be spending about half as much on Xmas this year due to my depressed economic position.Luckily, I bought a few gifts on sale early this year but, still, I must become much more creative in my gift giving so I can stretch those bucks a bit. The bag is simply beeyootiful. This is a superfine giveaway, thanks!

We didn't spend much last year so I'd say our spendings will be just about the same when it comes to presents. But we will be buying more Christmas decorations - we have lots of breakables but with a toddler in the house, we still want to decorate but need things that wouldn't break or be dangerous to her in any way.

There's less money coming in and everything went up in price, we're lucky to make ends meet. We'll be spending ALOT less.

I will be spending a LOT less this year. The economic decline has hit our family pretty hard this year.

About the same as last year - which is MUCH less than years before when we had more income and the economy was better. This year, like last year - is just depressing :(

We spend about the same every year b/c we never go over-board. I have a bunch of used toys that I got for like one dollar each at mom-to-mom sales that I give my kids.

We will not be spend the same amount as last year probaly less. My husband has cancer and I am in remission with mine. So we don't have moving since we have not been working so much. This might be my husband his last Christmas and we have a 19 & 3 year old.

I'm spending less this year because extended family can't really participate. We're doing 'homemade Christmas' this year instead. Should be interesting!

I will be spending LESS this year than last. We are barely making ends meet now and I don't see anyway to get around it. My Husband is even trying to sell his beloved motorcycle in the hopes of making enough to just survive, pathetic, I know!

I think we'll be spending about the same as last year. For the past few years we've really tried to cut back and not go overboard at the holidays for the kids..it's soooo easy to do when you start buying really early, put that stuff away, forget what you bought, and buy more stuff!

Like so many, we will be spending less this year. The cost of so much has gone up while the salary has not. It makes things tough, but I am greatful for the ability to get anything at all! :)

I will be spending less. I've already done much of my holiday shopping. By keeping my eyes peeled year round, I ensure that I don't spend too much!

Vee Cianca said:

I will definitely spend less this year. I think there are so many other things to be thankful for. Having a home to live in and the health of our family for one. Being conscious of the families in crisis, has given many of us an awaking to be more aware of the amount of $$$ we spend. Happy Holidays to all!

We are going to be spending much less this year. We need to be more frugal. Because of the economy and I have been unemployed for over a year, we needed to tighten our budget and get more imaginative. This bag would make a great gift for my wife, making we stay within the budget.

We will definitely be spending Less Money this year on holiday gifts. I feel so bad about that, but we just don't have the money to spend this year that we had other years. Our situation is not so much based on the economy and how that has changed as much as our kids are young, growing so fast and we can't keep up with the cost of getting them clothes that they need that fit! Also, we had to replace our roof recently and had some major car repairs that had to be done so having to spend those large amounts of money set us back. That's my story, it is interesting to read what others have to say, makes me feel like I have company! Happy Holidays everyone and BTW - I have always dreamed of having a stunning Coach Handbag like this one. Thank you for the chance to enter.

My family always gets a surprise when they open their Xmas presents. I like to give free items to them. I have a great selection since I save them all year long. Free is the way to go. They have fun opening them and it doesn't cost me a thing. Thanks for this free site.

carol ~ said:

I think a bit less. The reason is I am not confident with the debt this nation has and am concerned about the future. My husband and son have far less work than last year and I just don't know when it will pick up. I am trying to purchase only items that are truely needed by my family.

Joan Eubanks said:

I hope to save alittle bit more money this year due to the economic economy situation. I want to try to save alittle here and there so that I can help the less fortunate this year, by buying some food and donating them to the charities among town. I don't think enough people stop and appreciate what they have in there life, and give to those less fortunate. I could never afford a coach purse but would love to have one, because to me if it meant buying a purse with the money I have left over or helping others, I would have to choose to help others. Thank you and Happy Holidays to all!!!!
