[quote=Anonymous]Ok--I really have to comment.  First I guess it depends where you live.   Unfortunately as a single mom, I am probably one of the poorest people in this upscale neighborhood where I live. I keep seeing so many people commenting about giving cheap gifts like Dollar Store hula hoops, art supplies,  etc.  Firstly,  if you are trying to buy a nice gift on a budget, consider going to your local Ross/TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc and look around.   A gift is supposed to be about the thought,  not being cheap.   All of that cheap junk ends up in the trash so it's better to buy a  $5 or $10 gift card.  Trust me, you're not going to fool anyone into thinking you spent more than you did.  Second, places like Chuck E Cheese, etc actually costs the parents money, I spent almost $30 per child.  Believe it or not, they are thinking about your child's happiness also so you should do the same OR don't go!   Lastly,  If you don't have a lot of money it just means to have to be creative.   Go to a bank and get new $2 bills or something they might think is cool and stick it in a cute card.  Please don't buy something cheap and waste your money on something that won't end up being touched. [/quote]
