Happy Holidays to everyone!
My wife and I had a brief conversation before bed yesterday night....
She started with... what's our Xmas budget for our kids? for the nieces & nephews? Most are under 10, with one being 14.
I've always suggested one play item/toy and one set of kid's clothing, total ranging from $40 - 60 depending on the sale or $40 gift card.
She thought the budget per child was low... cheap vs. frugal My response was to look at the various sales and we'll figure something out.
While I know $40 - 60 won't buy "designer" things, kids will be kids and believe mid-level quality clothing will do as they grow fast.
Then, I thought, at what age do you stop giving gifts... we don't exchange gifts with the adults. After they finish college? get married?
Most of us are middle class ... open to feedback.
