Mom Spends $2,000 on Nearly 300 Presents for Her Kids
Two things Emma Tapping undeniably loves are Christmas and her family
(although you might be able to throw holiday shopping into the mix).
The 36-year-old British mother of three recently appeared on Inside Edition to
defend her decision to spend about $2,000 on more than 300 gifts for
her three children. Her husband will get a few surprises under the tree
as well.
Tapping appeared confident and bubbly during her interview, explaining that she had bought about 85 gifts for each of her two girls and about 30 for her son, and apparently she kept shopping after that, because recent media reports say she has now bought about 96 gifts for each of her kids.

In the documentary, it was revealed that her kids didn’t use all of the presents from last year.
“There was a popcorn maker and a notepad that Ella hasn’t used,” Tapping says. “For them not to use two things out of all the things I bought them, that’s not so bad.”
Her spending has triggered a debate on social media, with some saying the mom has gone too far.
