Tooth fairy IABU

[Luxplus]

Dd has a first loose tooth and will probably loose it within the next few days. That's ofc huge when your 5 and it's the first.
She has shown it off in nursery to the other kids and staff which lead to the talk about tooth fairy. Dh and I had talked about giving dd a gold coin and an little gift, but now dd comes home and tell stories about other gifts that kids have received eg. a new bike,a big box of Lego, an iPad ect..
Is that really a thing? Are we missing something? I'm really gobsmacked about the size of gifts...

DD most here last week!! £2 for first tooth and a letter from the Tooth Fairy to say thank you as she gets extra fairy points for first teeth

*lost hers

My DH: "inflation affected the price of my teeth and I ended up with a fiver per tooth at the end"

He's 34!

I got spare loose change lol, once my dad put a marble chocolate bar under my FACE on my pillow and it melted onto my face and hair.

My mum was less than impressed that morning before school.

Also, marble chocolate was not the norm... I don't know what he was thinking

If a child loses a tooth then tell them to put a note under the pillow explaining the general vicinity of said tooth. The tooth fairy will use her tooth detector, a bit like a metal detector but for teeth, and will leave the coin.

As a primary teacher this has saved many a tear over the years!
