[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 18 year old wants a pair of $495 Frye Boots for Christmas.

She wants for very little (and asks for even less).  
She had her 18th birthday over a month ago and we got her a sweater and a pair of boots ($150).  The boots went back because they looked terrible (I completely agreed--they were bad). We haven't replaced them-she's been busy with school and hasn't asked for a replacement to this birthday gift that didn't work out.

We usually spend about $300 for Christmas and my parents give us $200 or so to buy a gift from them.  She doesn't get gifts from other family members. 
She also has her own money from working a full time summer job at a restaurant (she probably has 3.5K).

My first response is "uh, no!" (mostly on principle)  But I don't know.  I could buy them and have her chip in or just buy them as her one Christmas gift from parents and grandparents.  They're the kind of boots that a few Influencers have found in thrift stores because Frye has been making the exact same style for 20 years (so they're classic and have staying power----and yes, it would be great to find them at a thrift store but she doesn't have the time for this and the stores with a random pair in them are generally in the midwest).

If you can afford it yes! 
I have Frye boots from 1994 they are fantastic and I have some newer versions as well can not kill them.

Just make sure the ones she wants are not too trendy. [/quote]
