How much money is spent on Christmas gifts each year in USA approximately?
967076
Sweety - Are you asking a question or making a statement?  Of course it would be ideal if all the money overspent in the US (and other places) for Christmas was given to those in need both at home and abroad.  But, its not going to happen.  \n\nThe answer is, Americans spend more money for Christmas gifts than they have which is the reason the holiday has become so commercial. \n\nGBYou

Weird question - but I'll take 2 pts. for looking it up on google.  35,893,799 in 2004.  You're going to have to do the math for the rest of the year...

Christmas is really about being with your family, not about the presents.  The presents are just a benefit of the holiday.  \n\nSit your kids down and explain that it may not be in the cards this year for extravagent presents, but have everyone make something for each other.  That way, if anything, you're only spending a small amount of money on arts & crafts supplies.  \n\nOr check out your local Goodwill or Salvation Army.  But please teach your kids the holiday isn't about what you receive.  Just because someone gets an expensive gift doesn't make them the better person or any "cooler".  The holiday is about spending time with your family.  Enjoying being together.  Plain & Simple.

Heres something that works for every age range:\nGo to a 99 cent store and pick up small christmas themed tins or plastic gift bags\nBake some easy candy: fudge, peppermint bark, english toffee etc\nPut the candy into the tins and pass them out.  Its an easy gift that won't cost you more than 30 bucks total.  A bonus is you'll get to eat some of the candy and have fun making it.  Thats what I'm doing this year for my friends (all recent college grads)  \nHappy Holidays!

The key to your question is--on and off--I would never suggest that anyone spend that much on a--on and off--Let him spend the money. A gift could and should run about 50 bucks.What you start off doing, he will expect from then on.Can't he use an office set,tools,or maybe outdoor equipment?Just take care of your money, until it gets SERIOUS..Good luck.

American Private Giving Outpaces U.S. Government Aid, Report Says\n"Washington -- The U.S. private sector donates to international causes at a level nearly four times the amount spent by the U.S. government. Called the Index on Global Philanthropy, the report tallies $71 billion in international donations by U.S. private charities, religious organizations, universities, corporations, foundations, and immigrants sending money home for the year of 2004 (the latest year available).\n\n"That compares to $20 billion in government foreign aid for the same year.  The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranks the United States as the biggest donor of government foreign aid among developed countries in terms of total dollars given.  \n\n"In another measurement, OECD figures each country’s aid as a percentage of its gross national income, which puts the United States second-to- last -- with 0.17 percent of its GNI given as foreign aid."\n\nCOST OF IRAQ WAR TO DATE  $275,670,000,000. ($276 BILLION)\nONGOING MONTHLY COST OF IRAQ WAR  $7,000,000,000.($7BILLION)

If that is meant to be spend, then none that I know of... most of the people I know spend money or dollars... some barter... but dough is basically worthless at best buy. If that is send, well my mom sends me cookies sometimes, so I guess enough dough to make a couple dozen cookies per care package, that could end up being a lot of dough.

Well I have 3 kids, aged 5-9..I've already spent $400  and I need to finish up with about $200 worth of more things for them. I've only spent about $100 on my hubby so far. I'm a big clearance shopper (year round) so I don't know how much I've spent on things here and there I have to give out to other family members. I also hit some really, really good sales on Black Friday so I think I stretched my dollars pretty darn well this year.
