Maybe a little more? Our family's income is highest in the fall, so during the rest of the year we tend to hold off on bigger purchases that can wait. (We're too busy to actually do the buying in late fall, so it seems to happen around now most years.) I just replaced my broken desk chair, and we're probably going to buy a new stove soon, before ours breaks on us. I also ordered a new fitness tracker for myself as an early birthday present. (My birthday isn't until March, but that's also my watch and I couldn't make it until March with no watch.) DH's birthday is in January, so we buy presents for him, too. Except for the stove, I think we've now bought everything we were planning on and will go back to our "usual" level of spending.
