Re: How much do you spend on birthday gifts?

That's the thing though. why should we spend more for little bit older
kids? Is that because we won't get anything for $10 or because we're
"supposed to" spend more on them? I'm just curious.

Because it's harder to find things for older kids for less amount of money.
An older child isn't going to be happy with a coloring book and box of
crayons. Books are good, but typically books that an older child will read
is more than $10. A CD or DVD is even around 14.99 or more if it is new
release. Sometimes you can find a shirt for under $10 in the clearance rack,
but again for an older child or even teen, it is going to be harder. I am
out of the preschool crowd and in the teenage crowd so my perspective is
different.
