Tooth fairy

[Ewanthescreamsheep]

Dd1 has lost her first tooth. Not a clue how inflation has affected the tooth fairy since I was little though.
What's the going rate? 😁🧚‍♀️

£2 for the first one and £1 there after.

£2

It’s usually more for the first tooth, from what I know it can vary from £1 to a fiver. It’s really your call how much you want to give.

£1 for all teeth here, even the first one! It was $1 when dd lost a tooth in Florida.

We gave chocolate coins

We gave chocolate coins

£1 for all teeth.

£5!!!!! Dream on sunshine

I've given my dd whatever happens to be in my purse. She's had 10p, 20p, 50p and £1 in no particular order. She's always excited to have a shiny coin from a fairy and has no real understanding of their value.

Ok, we're on the same wavelength then mostly. Thanks!
I'm 40, and seem to recall getting either 50p or £1, so I figured either £1 or £2 felt right now. OH suggested £5 though and made me think I was being stingy 😁

£2

Though the last one earned £5 because the tooth fairy hasn’t used cash in a year and the only money we had in the house was a £5 note or a £50 note a family member sent during the first lockdown for my birthday and I have been carrying around for a year because the village shop won’t take it and I haven’t been to a bank (nearest one is like 10 miles away and I’m not even sure they’re open anymore). 😬 Hoping no more teeth lost til I can restock.

Haha has the tooth fairy gone contactless?!

I suspect those who have given a fiver have been stuck for change rather than a conscious decision. Especially with more than one DC it soon adds up.

£2 for the first. £1 after that.

Our tooth fairy puts £2 in mummy's account and then they can buy a little treat. Or the tooth fairy has a chat with the tesco delivery people and pops a little treat on the order as she doesnt carry cash

She has also been known to pop some money on the roblox account too.

I gave £5 for the first one.
Then £1 for the next couple. We're on tooth 7 or 8 now, DC lost another today and it'll be 50p or 20p depending on how well they brush tonight (not v well, usually).

The tooth fairy left one pound for all teeth except DS2's fused tooth. She left a fiver for that one because it was sort of two teeth and it was the only cash she had access to.

Tooth fairy has been furloughed, so it's free this year.

It was usually £1 or £2 here

Our tooth fairy always leaves only silver coins. Last time she left 75p.

We give 50p. It's large, silver, nice to hold and look at. We try to give the Paddington or Beatrix Potter ones. Then they have to save up a bit for something nice, or keep it for a souvenir or something for the holidays.
I can't understand giving a fiver. That's not one coin. Do you leave a note or a pile of coins? Both seem untraditional! And my dc started losing teeth at 5 when they had little concept of the value of money so I started as I meant to go on.

I'm 40, and seem to recall getting either 50p or £1,

I'm 40 and I got 20p for my first tooth, then a stern letter from the tooth fairy days later telling me she wasn't coming again as I knocked out a tooth a night for the subsequent four nights so I'd have a pound!

£1 and £2 for a molar. Our tooth fairy is crap, often doesn't come the first night and very often doesn't carry the right cash so we end up with a heap of shrapnel under a pillow. You can't get the staff. Do your toothfairies buy the teeth to build castles out of too? Ours uses well looked after teeth as bricks but will crush any that haven't been looked after to gravel her driveway.

Tooth fairy only brings 50p here! Sounds like our tooth fairy is a bit mean!
