I've bought for a few less people this year (since its just me and kevin, tricia and Angie I work with not 13 techs and 3 drs), but I think I spent about the same if not more. The only thng on cc is what had to be to get the discounts, but thats ok, it helps spread it out and then I can pay those off when they come in next month.The economy really sucks this year, gas is outrageous and employment is at an all time low, it just looks better because our service men are considered employed, and I can tell you first hand that the unemployment offices don't even recognize 1/4 of the claims for unemployment they get. Hopefully next year will be better. But whoever you buy for, and whatever you buy, I'm sure they will appreciate it not for the value but for the sentiment behind it.
