What's the Right Amount to Spend on Christmas Gifts

The UAE is such a beautiful place. You can enjoy romantic dinners, visit nice spas, indulge in an hot air balloon ride, and so on.

Getting your loved one a gift is an opportunity to make beautiful memories together.

Sometimes, you might want to get a gift for three or more people, but you're on a budget.

So, knowing the right benchmark to spend on gifts per person can be tricky.

This shouldn't be the case anymore by the time you're done reading this post.

What's the Significance of Gifting at Christmas

While I want to jump right into the crux of the topic, I think it's a good idea for you to know the significance of gifting during Christmas.

You see, exchanging gifts has been a long tradition in various parts of the world, not just the UAE, during this time of the year.

For Christians, it's a very significant day as it symbolizes God's ultimate gift. That's the gift of the son to the world. While those who aren't Christian take it as an opportunity to give and make those around them happy.

A lot of folks donate to charity and those who are less fortunate during this time of the year.

How Much to Spend on Christmas Gifts

How much you spend on Christmas gifts per person actually depends on you and who you're getting this gift for.

You want to strike a balance between being generous and spending way past what you budgeted.

To answer the question, experience gifts cost around $70 to as much as $1800 AED per person here in the UAE.

So, I think it comes down to your budget. If you intend to surprise quite a few different people who aren't family, you can pick experiences under AED 500 per person.

You can spend more on your family members. Besides, you can also cut down costs here if you pick a shared or group experience.

For Him Wonderdays  | Wondergifts

The right Christmas gift to surprise a loved one doesn't have to be expensive.

It's good to know the right budget to work with, especially if you're on a steep budget or gifting more than one person.

Like I've said earlier, you can try to keep it below 500 AED if you're getting a gift experience for a friend, colleague, or one of your loyal customers.

Depending on your budget, you might want to take that amount a bit higher for your spouse or partner. You could spend between 750 to 1200 AED if you want to give them something nice.

If the surprise is for the entire family, we recommend you go for a shared family experience to save some money. You can have a lovely family experience under AED 600.

Feel free to browse through our various gift experiences. We have something for everyone, regardless of your budget.
