How much on presents

[Ihavenobrain]

How much would you say on average do you spend on birthday presents for your dc?

£100

Depends on what is asked for but upto £200. Party costs are extra.

Teenagers...up to £300

First birthday - as little as possible as they don't know and get so much from other family. beyond that, about £50-100, but I can imagine that being much more as they get older and want more technology. I buy toys throughout the year as they pass through interests too, so am considering cutting down on birthday spending, at least while they're little.

I am so glad I kept it really small when they were little. Up to £20 often. Now they are teenagers there have been some eye watering stonkers- bikes/ laptops/ posh coats.

We spent £10 for DS 1st birthday in January. This was after he was given an excessive amount of presents for Xmas from relatives. When he's old enough to care I might have to figure out a way to make his birthday less anticlimactic

£60, I have an 15 yr old and 12 yr old. We aren't flush. Next month one will receive a skateboard and the other doesn't yet know what he wants but it will probably be a superdry hoodie

25 but then lots of other relatives also spend 25 on each child and we can pool the cash for bigger gifts

A small present around £30 max and a big birthday party with approximately 30 kids.

Around £50 - usually on just one big thing rather than lots of little bits. Last birthday DD1 got a lego set, and DD2 got a micro scooter.

Plus up to £20 (but usually more like 10) on something chosen by their sibling to be from them, but paid for by us.

toast I'm afraid at the ripe old age of 34 my January birthday is always anticlimactic...
