[quote=Anonymous]We used to do it every year. The material from the Salvation Army said that most people spend around $100 per child. So we tried to spend around $50 for clothing items and $50 for fun stuff or toys. Over the years I remember buying play-do sets for a toddler, roller blades for tween girl and a football and soccer ball for a little boy. All reasonable requests and I hope the gifts were used and enjoyed. But the last couple years all the requests were for really expensive items like tablets and video game systems that couldn't possibly be purchased under the $100 guidance. I supposed some people might be willing to go way over but that wasn't in the cards for us. So we stopped doing it. [/quote]
