We usually spend around $20 because otherwise we would be broke with that and Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279546 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 07:00:02 +0000 looch 279546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wonder what we're going to do when we have school birthday parties. I don't mean to be cheap, but I can't see spending more than $20 for a school friend's gift. I'd rather organize something where all the invitees pitch in and get one good gift rather than a bunch of small stuff.</p> <p>Family is a different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279490 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 23:33:27 +0000 Mrs. Bee 279490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: same as chopsuey - $30 - $100 depending on how close we are to the friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279448 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 21:39:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 279448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the LO... my nephew's birthday is this coming week and I am spending over $50.. but he's my first nephew and I'm so close to him and my sister.</p> <p>Once my friends have babies and Cobi has friends, it will probably only be $30ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279414 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:56:54 +0000 junebugmama 279414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend $20 if they are not related to me. Now, with that said, I am a crazy ass bargain hunter. I buy gifts way ahead of time for kids birthdays. I usually will buy tons of toys after Christmas and then store them for the year. I just gave a 4 year old a V-Tech toy that was orig $70 that I got for $13.79 on clearance at target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279408 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 20:46:42 +0000 yin 279408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly I don't have any friends with kids, but I would be comfortable spending about $30. I recently spent about $60 on my niece for her first birthday, and I wanted to spend more. My sister doesn't like a lot of toys so I tried to limit the number of stuff I bought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279278 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:42:48 +0000 HLK208 279278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$30 but if it's a smaller party sometimes I spend $50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279268 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:25:26 +0000 banana 279268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the friend but usually $30-$50. for close friends or special birthdays (like 1 year) I'll spend $100 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-279068 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 08:36:43 +0000 tequiero21 279068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20-30....for bigger bdays, maybe 50... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278744 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:29:15 +0000 heffalump 278744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I feel cheap! $20. But I'm a big sale shopper, so I feel like I get a lot for my money. I just spent $20 on a first birthday present this weekend but originally before the sale prices it would have been $40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278742 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:28:42 +0000 chopsuey 278742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on the friend!<br /> $30-$100. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278736 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:18:18 +0000 Andrea 278736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$30-$50 as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278658 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:13:23 +0000 katdevargas 278658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend 30-40, including the card &amp; the wrappings </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278655 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:10:59 +0000 JerricaBenton 278655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I used to spend $50 and now it's closer to $30. There are just so many kids now and honestly I find that when it comes to toys you can get a lot for $30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278654 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:10:56 +0000 Honeybee 278654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe $25-$50 total. But whenever we get duplicate gifts for the kids, I put one away and regift it to their friends. :) So it's only been a few times I've had buy anything more than a card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278651 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:09:45 +0000 erwoo 278651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to spend $50+ until we started having kids and then had birthday parties all the time. Then it wasn't economical to be spending so much on each child so I probably spend around $30-ish now, especially when they celebrate every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278643 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:58:26 +0000 PurplePumps 278643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25-35. Practically all my friends have kids, most more than one, and have a party for them all every year... I feel like I'd be broke if I spent any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-spend-on-b-day-gifts-for-your-friends-los#post-278642 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:56:27 +0000 autumnlove 278642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I usually spend between $30-$50. </p>
