How much do you spend on birthday presents?

[TiggerWooHoo]

Just out of curiosity, if your child is invited to a birthday party, how much would you spend on a present for the birthday boy or girl? I've generally spent about £10 but my daughter (nearly 4) has already been invited to 6 parties this year so the cost of presents is quickly adding up. I realise everyone's budgets will be different and will probably depend on how close a friend the birthday child is, but what's the average?!

I do about a tenner. Give or take a pound or so.

[Sassenach85]

£20 but would spend less next time

[Thetruthfairy]

£5-£10

[WanderingTrolley1]

£10/15

[Emily7708]

Generally £10-15 but I try to stock up during the Smiggle sales and buy ahead if I see any bargains.

[PeterPiperPickedSeaShells]

I stockpile during the sales, I have quite a collection of presents waiting to be given

[Tanfastic]

About a tenner roughly.

[Stompythedinosaur]

I aim for around £5 and sometimes less if I can get a 3 for 2 or something.

Between £5-£10 for classmates generally, perhaps slightly more than £10 for a good friend. Maybe more as they get older as they tend to get invited to less class parties, just their friends. I also like to grab things in the sales or websites such as the book people can be really good.

Another sale-stockpiler here...

[PancakeInMaBelly]

Anything from £2.50 to £10

If you have 6 to go to get a book set from book people and split it up and give a book each
