[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider clothes, shoes, backpacks, water bottles, toothbrushes, etc to be essential items and not gifts. I buy them throughout the year whenever I find sales or as needed. Christmas is toys and books. DS is 7 and we plan to spend $100-200 depending on what he wants. It will likely go up when he gets older and wants a gaming system or other big ticket item. Grandparents, aunts, etc also buy gifts or give money that goes into his savings account.[/quote] Depends. A hydroflask water bottle or fancy brand name boots are definitely gifts and not necessities in our household. And we have a high HHI. Just because you are well off doesn’t mean children don’t need to learn the value of money, and if we spend less on X, we can spend more on Y.[/quote]
