A mum who spends just a £100 budget on each child's Christmas present says she is "standing by her own values" despite pressure from others.

Samantha Mary, 35, implemented her budget for presents and stocking fillers last Christmas for her two-year-old son Jack and 10-year-old step-daughter, Isabella.

After the success of last year, Samantha has decided to do it again - valuing "memories over the money spent."

She spends £20 on stocking presents – filling them with items including socks, gel pens, and bath bombs – and £80 on main presents.

This year she bought her Jack a London bus toy set alongside a toy coffee machine and for Isabella a bubble tea set and crochet kit.

The mum - who has shared videos about her decision on TikTok - says the budget is a "fair and reasonable amount."
