@Mrs. Pen: We got LO this scooter for her birthday and it was a hit!

@Mrs. Pen: Actually though, I should mention that we ended up getting the Micro Maxi scooter for DS earlier this year (and now DD uses the Mini), he was too tall for the Mini at just after 4. You may want to look into the Maxi because you can adjust the handlebars and the weight limit is up to 110lbs. At the lowest setting it is the same height as the Mini. It's a bit more expensive but you can get many more years of use out of it (up to age 12ish they say).

He is too young to know the difference and always gets something from his grandmas so we usually do ten to twenty bucks and sometimes nothing. But we take him out for his birthday dinner.

Not too high. Typically under $50.

This year it will be higher because we are wrapping up random stuff she needs so she can pull the paper off, e.g. we are "gifting" her a convertable seat that fits in Daddy's car.

If we have more kids, I plan to follow my in-laws needs (they have four kids). They spend about $30-50 per person, but every year 1-2 people are chosen for bigger gifts that might cost more. That way they can give the big ticket items (the highlight of MIL's year is christmas gift giving) without breaking the bank.

I don't have a budget. I just get what I want them to have or what I know they want. Same for Christmas. I'll save random things I want them to have for Christmas and birthdays. Like I will be getting LO2 a Dream blanket for Christmas since LO1 has one and loves it. As well as the PB anywhere chair...
