[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid and how well we know them. If you know a kid well, sometimes you can spend $15-20 and get something meaningful and appreciated. If I don’t know a kid well, I often get art supplies or a board game. Easy to use or re-gift. Thankfully in 3rd grade we are seeing more parties that are 5-12 kids. That means fewer parties and a better chance that we know the kid well enough to make the gift personal. For a close friend I will spend $30 now that we go to fewer parties. Thankfully a lot of whole class parties are also “no gift” lately. We bring a card and I keep $10 gift certificates to the neighborhood ice cream shop and packs of Pokémon cards to slip in the envelope if it seems like everyone else brought a gift despite the instructions.
