I only spent $10 per kid (double birthday party). </p> <p>But I made a personalized gift. It's a princess fort kit and superhero fort kit. On the bags I put his initial instead of the S for spiderman and her initial in a tiara. Inside I put things you need to make a fort, like sheets, clothes pins, rope, etc, all in appropriate colors (pink for her, red for him). And then I also included activities to do in the fort, like glow sticks and arts and crafts. I found everything at the dollar store and used things I already had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-592406 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:40:47 +0000 T-Mom 592406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$20 max for a day care friend...but most of our day care parties are no gift (except a few families in the day care and then everyone is annoyed they have to bring a gift). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-592056 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:47:15 +0000 pinkcupcake 592056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We spend $50 for close, $100 for super close (like family, my BFF's kiddos), and around $20-25 for not-so-close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591589 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:26:45 +0000 Alivoo01 591589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$20 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591501 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:59:56 +0000 Dandelion 591501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under $15...depending on how much ds likes the kid (that also determines if we even go! lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591365 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:27:53 +0000 autumnlove 591365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$10-$15! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591363 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:27:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 591363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$15-$20 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591358 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:26:48 +0000 Bao 591358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it were someone not very close, maybe $10-$15 and someone close $25-$45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-a-birthday-gift-for-a-daycare-friend#post-591349 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:24:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 591349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are not particularly close with the parents/child, but say they invited the whole daycare? </p> <p>We go to so many birthday parties now that I keep gifts to $20, and $40 if we're closer.</p> <p>What about you? </p>
