Re: How much do you spend on birthday gifts?

I typically spend around $20. I don't think I can find something decent when
spending less. If multiple kids are going to the same party, I spend a
little more, but just buy one gift. If it is someone very close, I spend
more.
Since you mention preschool, I could probably get away with spending less,
maybe like $15.

When your kid gets invited to a birthday party of one of her preschool
classmates, how much do you spend on the gift? Please be honest :)

I spend around $10. I ask what he/she would like and buy whatever I
get for $10. I don't like giving or receiving expensive gifts. If your
kid receives a cheaper gift would you be offended? Also, if you have
more than one kid that attends the party, do you send two gifts or
double the price of one gift?

Thanks.
