[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my DD has a phone, a nintendo switch, and a laptop. The switch was a gift, I can't remember if it was bday or xmas, but that was probably the only expensive gift we've given. The rest of the time it's simpler fun things.

I honestly don't know how people can save practical items such as a phone or a laptop for birthdays or Christmas (unless bday also happen to coincide with the start of the year). Laptop was purchased when she needed it for schoolwork in the fall, and replaced when it broke. The phone was also given when she started walking a long distance to school in the fall. Other practical and costly items such as winter boots and coats are purchased when the weather gets cold, which is usually before Christmas. Christmas presents are fun and frivolous: squishmallows, makeup, inexpensive jewelry, etc. I don't like to purchase big ticket items for Christmas just because it's Christmas, because we need to save that money for later in the year when expensive practical items are actually needed.
