help! how much do you spend on holiday gifts for people outside your family?

Like $5

I used to do about $20 nothing crazy,but now I give gifts to my family and not even everyone in my family only close family that I am spending the holidays with. (Cousins, family I dont see too often dont get anything). Friends, coworkers etc. Dont get anything unless it's a secret Santa type of deal.

I make my own. It's usually under $5-$10. I make my own scrubs and facial masks. I have a few beauty subs so I add beauty items I never used and redeem points for free stuff too. With Cold/Flu season coming I sometimes give honey that has essential oils to help soothe throats and fight the cold.

I am the gift.

For people outside of family we make gifts or make goodie/treat bags. It’s a family tradition to only buy gifts for family and make goodies for everyone else. We usually spend a lot the days up to holiday cooking and baking then handing them out to everyone. Including those on the street or the less fortunate.
