A mum of two has revealed she is buying her children 60 presents each this Christmas – at an eye-watering cost of £4k ($7500).

Laura Whyte is splashing out on her kids after making a fortune from her work this year – and doesn’t care if people disagree with it.

The 30-year-old doesn’t feel guilty about spending the money as it’s the first time she’s come into big bucks and wants her kids to feel special.

Ms Whyte is buying her two kids, aged eight and 12, a whopping 120 presents.

Among these is a VR set, a bike, a holiday in January and a £600 ($1130) surprise gift.

“It feels amazing,” Laura, who is from Aberdeen in Scotland, says. “I don’t feel as guilty about spending money now.

“Before there was a budget but now there’s not so much.

“It’s just the fact we don’t have to budget … we’re not having to start planning for next Christmas in January.

“When they ask for something, you know that you can get it for them.

“It’s just a relief it’s not as stressful anymore.”

She is anticipating it taking her children a while to open all of their presents on the big day.

The family will be spending early January in a Scottish cabin, enjoying luxuries like a hot tub and pool table.

And Laura says they’ve spent hundreds on decorations alone over the last few years.

The most she’s splashed out on a present for her kids this year is £600 ($1130), but she says she doesn’t want to give away the surprise.

The family will also be spending up to £600 ($1130) on food, nibbles and drinks for the big day.

“This year we’ve obviously spent a bit more than we normally would as we’ve got the money there,” Laura says.

She claims to make a whopping £5k ($9500) a month through OnlyFans.

“Before we would have had to pick and choose what to get them, but now I can get them what they’re wanting,” she added.

“After Christmas we’ve got the holiday to look forward to, it’s like a second Christmas away.

“Before we didn’t really go away anywhere and now we can, so I think they’re more excited for that part.”

Laura previously made headlines after she accused other women in her village of being jealous of her OnlyFans career.
The mum of two says she’s boosted her income from £35 ($66) a week benefit payments to £4,000 ($7600) a month after making the career change.

She says she hopes to leave her town of Aberchirder soon and buy a plot big enough to build a studio other content creators can rent out.
