The “12 Days Of Christmas” Gifts Are Pricier Than You Think

Buying all of the gifts featured in the classic carol "The 12 Days of Christmas" is going to cost you more this December. More than last year, and more than ever. How much?

$34,131 this year, according to the 32nd annual PNC Wealth Management Christmas Price Index. That's 0.6 percent more than the adjusted 2014 price of $33,933.

While nine out of the 12 gifts mentioned in the song stayed the same price as last year, the cost of turtle doves rose a whopping 11.5 percent due to increased grain prices that pushed up feed costs. (Alas, it doesn't seem that birds have jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon.)

Here are all of the numbers, according to PNC's calculations:

1 partridge, $25; last year, $20
1 pear tree (for the partridge to sit in), $190; last year, $188
2 turtle doves, $290; last year, $260
3 French hens, $182; last year, same
4 calling birds (a.k.a. canaries), $600; last year, same
5 gold rings, $750; last year, same
6 geese-a-laying, $360; last year, same
7 swans a-swimming, $13,125; last year, same
8 maids a-milking, $58; last year, same
9 ladies dancing (per performance), $7,553; last year, same
10 lords a-leaping (per performance), $5,508; last year, $5,348
11 pipers piping (per performance), $2,635; last year, same
12 drummers drumming (per performance), $2,855; last year, same

Editor's Note: if anyone buys me anything on this list (instead of a PS4), friendship over. Non-negotiable.
