I don't think hitting a certain dollar amount matters so much.

But I also tend to spend even less because I'm a diyer. I have two parties this weekend, I made them each the same gift. A bag/crayon holder personalized with things they like and their name, a coloring book with pictures of themselves, and water colors. Cost me less then $5 each, but it took a lot of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475938 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:56:30 +0000 chopsuey 1475938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I would keep it under $35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475932 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:56:04 +0000 Pepper 1475932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: $25 - $30 in that instance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475925 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:54:46 +0000 Smurfette 1475925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: in that case $30ish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475922 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:54:07 +0000 MrsH 1475922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the newness i would say 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475916 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:52:36 +0000 Ginabean3 1475916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$25! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475906 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:50:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1475906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In this this case $20-30 tops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475898 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:48:58 +0000 mrskc 1475898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend like $20-30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475895 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:48:41 +0000 Ra 1475895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I've only known the mom for a few months.

I really just wanted to get a good gift and would have minded spending up to $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475892 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:48:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1475892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on how close I am to the parents. Usually $25, but I recently threw J a first birthday party and I was blown away by the generosity of my friends. Several of them gave either a giftcard or gift worth $100. :shocked: </p> <p>I wouldn't expect anything more than $20... so I think $20-30 is a good gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475885 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:47:34 +0000 Smurfette 1475885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally depends on who the kid is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475883 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:47:08 +0000 Rubies 1475883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally depends. $20-$100. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475882 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:46:42 +0000 chopsuey 1475882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how close I am to the family.<br /> I've spent between $25-$150. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-for-a-childs-birthday-gift#post-1475874 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 19:45:45 +0000 Ra 1475874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to a first birthday party in 2 weeks and I'm not sure what to get as a gift. I like the idea of an experience gift and was thinking about a season pass to the zoo. It is like $75 though and I feel like that is a lot for a birthday gift. My other thought was maybe the Parum Pum Pum Drum and a ticket to the local children's museum.</p> <p>What is the going rate for gifts these days? </p>
