I think I usually spend between $30-$50.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!
-
I spend 30-40, including the card & the wrappings
-
$30-$50 as well.
-
depends on the friend!
$30-$100. -
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.
-
20-30....for bigger bdays, maybe 50...
-
depends on the friend but usually $30-$50. for close friends or special birthdays (like 1 year) I'll spend $100
-
$30 but if it's a smaller party sometimes I spend $50.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
Once my friends have babies and Cobi has friends, it will probably only be $30ish.
-
@chopsuey119: same as chopsuey - $30 - $100 depending on how close we are to the friend!
-
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.
Family is a different story.

My husband has 7 nieces and nephews. We usually spend around $20 because otherwise we would be broke with that and Christmas.
So it's only been a few times I've had buy anything more than a card!
