[quote=Anonymous]This is a toy for an elementary schooler. They don't really know how much stuff costs. I also give my kids a lot of used toys and cheap toys and homemade stuff but I think for a stranger's child it's appropriate to buy something new. The thing my kids consistently want and get that is expensive is Lego.

I always look at tags before I take them to make sure it's something I can do. Sometimes they are asking for a kind of toy I'm not familiar with and I don't know how to pick it, like I vaguely know what beyblades are, but I wouldn't know which item to buy if the tag just said "beyblades" vs SuperAwesome LaserType Deluxe Beyblade Arena [yes I made that up]. If it was a specific thing I'd Google it quickly to make sure it was in my price range. If I don't think it's age appropriate or it's something I have an issue with, I'll leave that tag.

I think it's fine to choose a different tag for whatever reason but it's not cool to dunk on a little girl for wanting relatively expensive toys. They're kids. They don't know. They just want what other kids have. No one is forcing you to participate, so I think you should take a tag you are happy about fulfilling as requested.[/quote]
