Is this enough for a 6 year old?

[CurlyRover]

We finished wrapping DSD's presents this evening and it really does look like a tiny pile. But I think my viewpoint is massively affected by my experiences growing up. My parents used to fill about 2 sacks of presents for each of us and very much had a materialistic type upbringing

We've bought her:
Big box of classic Lego
Frustration game
Princess jigsaw
Paw Patrol story book collection
Colouring book
Dressing gown
Paw Patrol money box

Then in stocking
2 mini jigsaws
Paw Patrol socks
Pair of leggings
Paw Patrol Top Trumps cards
Pack of white chocolate buttons

Is this a reasonable amount? She's so excited and keeps talking about how she's going to rip open the wrapping paper on all her presents as quickly as possible and i remember being younger and having a similar approach. I can't say i ever stopped to really look at my presents properly until I was about 16. Before that point it was about getting onto the next one and the next one. Do you think she's going to be disappointed? We've probably bought about half the things on her list as we know her Mum is buying some of the other things. I just really don't want her to be disappointed when she opens them on boxing day.

I think of she's going to end up with lost things on her lost between you and her mum shes a very lucky girl indeed. My 6 year olds pile is admittedly bigger but he gets one pile and I don't buy anything throughout the year except for birthdays. If it's what she has asked for she will love it.

Its the quality not the quantity, but then you know that really don't you? They sound like lovely thoughtful presents. I refuse to buy great piles of stuff, we each have 10 carefully chose presents in our stockings and one main gift. That's enough, and it is appreciated and enjoyed, whereas I suspect a great pile of stuff would not get played with properly.

*chosen

Sounds good to me op. It looks like a number of things she will enjoy and use. I think if you get loads of stuff you end up buying for the sake of it. Youve got to draw the line somewhere.

We do buy silly 50p to £1 pocket money items as kids of that age don't always appreciate more expensive presents . But my OH had quantity when that age. Yes, you have got enough so don't worry and enjoy.

Don’t forget the pile will look bigger through a 6 year old’s eyes than yours!

It sounds perfect to me. We have deliberately tried to keep things simple this year and not bought too much. Enjoy your day with her!

I had the same type of upbringing too btw.

More than enough!!

Sounds plenty to me. Similar to what my DC will be getting

Sounds fine to me OP Around the same amount we get for DC.

I have 4 step children, 2 of them are more concerned about quantity as they are both very young (6&7) the older 2 are more concerned about what they get (10&11) so the younger ones had more to open, our Christmas day was with them today and it only took them an hour to open everything and study what it was. I asked the youngest to close his eyes and tell me everything he had gotten and he couldn't name one thing so I asked him to go back and have a good look at them and it was like he was opening them again only this time actually paying attention. Might be an idea. Most of the little ones things came from the pound shop, at that age they aren't overly fussed on the quality of the presents. But yeah that sounds plenty to me. I was also brought up on lots of materialistic things, it does cloud your judgement. My partner wasn't brought up the same as me at all. It's good to get other perspectives. Just makes me more grateful and appreciate everything my mum managed and still manages for christmas and birthdays x
