A mum was trolled for spending just £100 budget on each child's Christmas presents - but says she doesn't want to "spoil" them. Samantha Mary, 35, decided to set a budget for main presents and stocking gifts for this Christmas for her one-year-old son, Jack, and nine-year-old step-daughter, Isabella. She spent £20 on stocking presents – filling them with items including scrunchies, car toys, and shower gel, and £80 on main presents. She bought her son a railway set and toys for his kitchen set and found her step-daughter an art set and Lilo and Stitch vest and pants.
