[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not give cash.  If you gave us cash, it would go to the college fund.  My kid has no reason to have cash.

I would do a $15 gift card and a generic birthday card.  We do generic birthday cards (just get a pack) and generic wrapping paper (cheaper than a bad in less you are recycling one).[/quote]

You really do this with a kids bday money from friends???

Please tell your kids to casually let all his friends know the next time he has a party so they can pass that tidbit to their parents. If I am giving a kid a token $20 for a birthday gift I want it to specifically go for something fun of the kid's choosing.[/quote]

Of course I do.  It is a gift and you should not dictate what is done with a gift. My kid chooses plenty and constantly gets stuff.  I am more concerned about his future and being debt free.  My son knows better than to ask for gifts and demand what he gets.  That is tacky.  [/quote]

That is unfortunate.

I doubt any of your kids friends or acquaintances want to contribute to your kid's college fund.

I hope your kid starts complaining about this to his friends so their parents have the option to give him something else instead.[/quote]
