I've just been wrapping my DC's presents and I can't shake the feeling that they are imbalanced. They have the same number, which I think is more important to them at this age, but I have spent about £30 more on DS(8) than DD(4) (about £110 compared with £80 excluding stockings which are more balanced), plus I got some of DS's stuff for bargain prices so the value of them is even more still. Am I being ridiculous to be worried about this? Here's what I've bought them...
DS
Kindle Fire (£30 on Black Friday)
Remote controlled car (£40)
Chemistry set (£15)
Star Wars lava lamp (£12.50 reduced from £25)
Tom Gates audio books (£8)
Chocolate selection pack
DD
Kiddizoom camera (bought off friend who received a duplicate present for £25)
My Fairy Garden playset (£10)
Digibirds playset (£15)
Soft Anna doll (£15)
Beatrix Potter audio books (£20)
Chocolate selection pack
I guess it feels like my son is getting two main presents and my daughter is only getting one main present which is making it feel imbalanced. But it doesn't matter does it (please?!) I think they will both love their presents.

I have spent more on DS(8) than on DD(4). Please reassure me that it doesn't matter!
