[quote=Anonymous]We don't give big ticket items like that for Christmas. Sometimes for a birthday. Often we will say "okay this is the bike we can buy you, but if you want something higher end, you'll need to pitch in." This might take the form of contributing their birthday and Christmas money from grandparents and a few other relatives ($20 from five different people twice a year adds up). It might also take the form of doing chores or helping us in ways above and beyond normal chores to help earn an upgrade. Christmas is for smaller gifts. We don't stick to a $100 per gift cap, but if a kid gets something for more than $100, they will get fewer gifts overall, and they no this when they make wish lists. But also they know I'm a good shopper who knows how/when to nab deals, so also sometimes they ask for things that cost over $100 and I get them for much less via Black Friday or buying off eBay or whatever.[/quote]
