Are Michigan Parents Spending This Much Per Kid On Christmas?

A new survey reveals how much Michigan parents spend per kid at Christmas. The number is staggering.

I do not have kids, so maybe the number is not as high as I think. Michigan parents can be the judge, however, I have a feeling quite a few of you will agree.

Coupon Birds claims the survey revealed that  9% of parents in the United States will spend over $1000 per child.

So how much are Michigan parents spending per kid this holiday season? The survey says $588 per child. Am I crazy to think that is high?

Take a look at what (on average) parents are spending on Christmas 2024 below.

As you can see, no state is spending less than $247 per child this year. I get spending more on just one child, but what about families with multiple kids? Christmas can break the bank.

If you are a Michigan parent, does spending $588 per child seem accurate, or perhaps you spend even more?

Where is Santa Claus when you need him? I am guessing most kids don't grasp the concept of - it's the thought that counts.

Good luck parents. It sounds like you are going to need it.
