• 2．Christmas Day is for eating，drinking，watching bad TV-and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realize your husband's aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards．
     Present-buying can be a minefield：from how much to spend，to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don't want，to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to a little something．
     Here，F(xiàn)EMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only thing that's red this Christmas is Santa Claus' nose．
     "If you've just started seeing someone you don't need to spend a fortune，" says dating advisor James Preece．
     "It's much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that's a little bit different．￡20 is about the right amount，with a maximum of ￡50 if you can afford it．"
     "Or you don't even need to go that far"，says relationship expert and founder of BeLoveCurious．com，Helen Rice．"Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out．Feel free to give the person you're dating something thoughtful，just don't spend a lot of money．"
     "If you're in a long-term relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation，" adds James．"You don't need to go crazy，but it's a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them．"
     "It's also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than big one．Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping，so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy．"
