[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]also, furnishings usually go on sale after the holidays. So maybe give her a "gift certificate" for a new bed and bedding--and lunch out when you go to pick it out together. [/quote] +1, this is a great idea. You sound like a lovely dad but she would probably prefer to make her own decorating choices. It's ok, OP. All kids have to come to terms with budgeting and managing their lifestyle expectations. The life lessons you impart during difficult times are worth 10,000x more than any material possession. She is old enough to understand and will probably be relieved and gratified that you are being straight with her. Talk with her about favorite holiday activities to do together. I remember one time my mom asked for our favorite holiday foods etc., and mine has always been a big box of clementine oranges. You might be surprised at what she says.[/quote]
