[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we have an income well north of 500K (and I agree with the PP, you must too.) We don't spend nearly that much on little kids (like yours) since the things they want are pretty basic and I don't want tons of plastic crap in my house cluttering it up.  When our kids are older I would have no problem spending $1200 total on a kid if it was for a few big ticket items that they really wanted (i.e. skis for a kid into skiing, a nice bike, a first designer handbag for a teenage girl, etc.)  I don't think it is about a dollar amount since everyone has different means. However, Christmas shouldn't be about quantity.  Gift-giving should always be about thoughtfully considering what would be truly meaningful to the recipient and then choosing something that will give them pleasure that is appropriate to your means.

We also have a high income but we don't spend that much on our kids. We don't really have a set budget but we get them a few large gifts and a bunch of small ones and it probably adds up to $300-400 per kid.

I feel most toys don't cost that much. Even the big ticket toys cost around $200. DH thinks our kids have way too many toys already.[/quote]
