[quote=Anonymous]I am honestly shocked how many people spend $20+. My kids are 3 and 5. We go to 2-5 parties a month (old daycare friends, preschool friends, kindergarten friends, neighbors). I live in N Arlington and I am embarrassed to say how much I spend on birthday parties - too much, but it’s my choice and I don’t expect gifts at all or for those gifts to defray the cost of the party. Most gifts my kids get are in the $10-15 range, maybe $20 if 2 siblings come. I honestly feel a bit guilty when families buy us $30+ gifts that are nice than what my kids grandparents and aunts buy them. I used to buy $25 gifts for $10-15 on PrimeDay and Black Friday and stockpile them, then I felt bad about not having a gift receipt for something purchased months before. Now I buy less expensive gifts at Target with a gift receipt. Maybe I should just cut to the chase and hand out $15 Target gift cards. [/quote]
