[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what’s a reasonable price point in 2024? Wagons are $119/$135, Barbie Campers are $90, bicycles are no lower than $80/90.. I mean.. it’s not cheap to get anything! [/quote]

I buy gifts for a child every year (some years two children.)   Not through the "USPS Santa Letters Gift Exchange" (I've actually never heard of that one) but through a different organization.   I typically spend between $300-400 per child. [/quote]

Same, but the lists are usually varied. There are requests for certain clothes like hoodies and sweatpants or a warm jacket and also toys, sports equipment, toiletries or whatever. So all in, about that much. Sometimes I adopt a whole family and have to buy for everyone and it ends up being more like $1000. The mom wants dishes, kitchen items, blankets, etc.  Dad asks for a sports jersey or favorite team shirt. I buy the kids the same brands and types of things I buy my own kids, so Crayola not Rose Art crayons. Have never seen a shoot for the moon gift request. I think OP made that up this problem just to bash people over the hypothetical.[/quote]
