[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For just a classmate with a low key park/home party, $10, definitely less than $15. A little more up to $25 for a kid he considers a friend, or if it’s a nicer party at a play place or a nice home party with bounce houses and actual food. [/quote] It's crappy that you give a lower-cost gift to a kid whose parents maybe can't afford a fancier party. Really crappy of you. It's actually the poorer kids I go out of my way to give BIGGER gifts to. [/quote] We do this for kids who are not close friends - Escape Room or Bowlero parties get more $ because I think of it as subsidizing the cost of the experience. A family in our neighborhood has a pool party in their backyard with donuts every year. They are not poor by any means or at least from what I can tell (pool in the backyard, 1.5 mil house in suburbs). Their kid brings mine art kits from Michaels which cost $10. So we tend to match that when we go to their kid’s party. [/quote]
