How much do you spend for Santa gift and stocking stuffers

I do a stocking with a few bits of lollies and a few cheapo novelty toys. Probably about $20. Last year they got $2 'fart putty' and it was the biggest hit of the day!

How much for a gift from parents?

We spend around $200 per child for christmas. Presents are a mix - most from Santa but coolest from parents This year they are getting a shared trampoline - can't find one without a net for under $500 so they will only get a little gift each from us.

What about birthday's what do you spend per child for birthday??

Around $150-200

Does the cost go up as their age goes up?

Sort of. Depends what they are interested in. Middle child happened to want the more expensive thing last round of birthdays.

Do you make any gifts for your children?

No. But I should. Now that they are bigger and I am getting some free time I should do that.

Do you purchase any toys of gifts between birthday and Xmas for you child?

If we are travelling out of town they often get a treat toy (under $20) to make nights in a small motel room more manageable. That would happen maybe a few times a year. Otherwise they have to buy things with their own money that they get from my mum at birthdays and christmas, or they have to do jobs to earn it.
