What’s the going rate for the tooth fairy these days?

[Forgottenmyphone]

How much are people paying? I remember getting 20p for my first tooth!

£1

£2 for first one, £1 for the rest.

Also £1

Relieved to see this, as I know people who give £5 notes, but I feel that's too much (besides, how on earth does the poor fairy carry huge notes)?!

DD gets £1 a tooth which seems to be pretty standard among her friends. I used to get 20p too but hey, inflation!

A book. Tooth fairy brings a book.

£2. But wait until they don't tell you they've lost a tooth to test if the tooth fairy is real!

£1

£2 coin , because its well fancier than a £1 coin!

I don't remember being visited by the tooth fairy. I would say £5 with all the inflation

£5 for the first and £1 for the rest.

shiny gold £1 per tooth or a €1 when you’re on hols

£1. I was slightly horrified to read a news article - the child had lost multiple teeth at once (can't remember why but they were ok) and the mum was saying how expensive it was as she had to give £10 per tooth!

We did £5 for the first and it’s £1 for the rest.

£2. But I live up North and on all Mumsnet threads they ask where you live whenever you post about money as if we're all total paupers so just assume it's £10 for the SE and a lump of coal for everyone else

Put a £1 coin in a glass of cola and it will become so shiny. Use that.

We do £2 as I got £1 in the 80’s so seemed unfair to give kids the same

£2 and a note in the teeniest tiniest writing I can manage

£1, unless exceptional circumstances apply. One child had to have a tooth removed under gas sedation - an extra tooth stuck in her gum. She got a fiver for that. Same when the younger one got a baby tooth knocked out by another child accidentally head-butting her.

I always said the tooth fairy had a bag of coins and doesn’t understand human currency. Be grateful it isnt a euro….

£5 1st one £2 after.
I always make sure we have a couple of £2 coins in the jar as we never have change and often they've lost 2 teeth in a matter of days

Haha yes we had to do this once on holiday!

The maximum you can give is £2 for the first one and £1 for the rest.

Do not ruin it for the rest of us and start giving out paper money.

An IOU is acceptable from the tooth fairy in coin shortage situations.

£1 or £2 depends what I find first 🧚‍♀️
