This is what we do in my family. We had a £15 limit and there had to be 4presents; something you want, you need, you can eat and you can read. It was really successful :-)

Might push that idea a bit for hubs side too...

Could you just say this year I'm not buying gifts, or I'm donating to charity on your behalf, please feel free to do the same for us @kim

MIL asks for a list so I have ended up with someawesome things that I want / need (stick vacuum, compost bin for kitchen and coffee storage pot), a fab craft book and some perfume as extra also wanted / needed. My family are doing the 15 quid secret santa thing for the adults - much less stressful this year doing that!
