How much to spend on a 5y/o birthday party gift

[MsRosewater]

Hi

Just that really- DD in reception and had a few invites . Her pre-school wasn't super social so not v clear on expectations as to 'normal' party gifts as only been to v close friends' parties.

We live in a economically mixed area for what it's worth ....

TIA xxx

Do you mean on a gift to take to another child’s birthday party? If so I would usually aim for £10 roughly.

£5-£10

Between £5-10 but I would spend closer to £10. You can get some good presents from
asda like arts and craft foil sets.

I’ve always been in the camp of a box of Maltesers and a £5 note, moving to £10 as they got older, party invites became less frequent and more actual friends rather than whole class invites.

Thanks!!!' V reassuring as have a coupe of craft sets/activities to hand

I spend £5-£8. I try to get something like a craft kit/colouring thing etc that a kid can do and then will no longer clutter up the house, unless I know they have a particular interest. Lego is good too if they have it because you can get a little set that just adds to what they have.
