Makes so much sense. Last year when I met up with all of my cousins, we didn't buy for his three kids.I buy “family” gifts for friends ie biscuits/cake etc for all to share
I have 2 kids; I’ve never spend “hundreds” of pounds on them for Christmas. They get a present from “Santa” that is usually a “big” present - a bike/games console etc and they get a stocking with a selection of small gifts - small toys, games, jammies, sweeties etc. that’s it. That is more than enough. Anyone spending hundreds of pounds on gifts for a child of 2 isn’t doing so for the child in mind - it’s all for bragging rights and toIt’s easy to spend 100s on kids. Not sure how people don’t get it.
We always had huge piles that filled the room growing up so now we do that for our kids.
He got a swing and slide set for outside that cost around £400 then just a few other bits toys and clothes etc it all adds up surprisingly quickly.Out of curiosity as someone who doesn’t have kids, what are you buying a 2 year old that costs £800?
Why do you have such a problem with what other people choose to spend on their own children? nobody is asking you to foot the bill for it. People are entitled to spend their own money however they wish. This thread is turning into a spending shaming one now.You spend £800 on a 6 year old and a 2 year old?!! On what exactly?! You realise a 2 year old doesn’t have any real comprehension of Christmas and won’t even remember any of it….!
That’s madness.
Because spending near on £1000 on presents for a 2 year old child is completely fucking ridiculous. The child has NO IDEA WHAT CHRISTMAS IS AND WILL NOT REMEMBER ANY OF IT. May aswell set fire to a grand for all the use a thousand pounds worth for gifts for a child of that age is going to be!!!He got a swing and slide set for outside that cost around £400 then just a few other bits toys and clothes etc it all adds up surprisingly quickly.

You might as well just say you cant afford it and move onBecause spending near on £1000 on presents for a 2 year old child is completely fucking ridiculous.

Agreed, I'm going to spend £400 on each of my dogs just so Betty can have a heart attackYou might as well just say you cant afford it and move onthis is a thread to post what you spend and anyone spending more than the amount you agree with you jump on them. People can do what they like with their own money and dont have to answer to you This clearly isnt the thread for you as you’re so triggered by what other people do with their own money that they work for.
Do youAgreed, I'm going to spend £400 on each of my dogs just so Betty can have a heart attack
Yeah like if idiots want to waste vast sums of money on presents for children who won’t appreciate them or remember them that’s their choice but I’m allowed to have an opinion on it and express that opinion.I agree with Betty that for me, £800 seems a hell of a lot to spend on a 2 year old.
However - they're your kids and if you've got the money, then who are we to judge? What you choose to spend your money on is your business.
Theres a difference between having an opinion and calling people morons or idiots because they dont agree with you? You dont get to dictate whats a magical christmas for other families. Bet your real fun at parties tho hun glad your not invited to mines anywayYeah like if idiots want to waste vast sums of money on presents for children who won’t appreciate them or remember them that’s their choice but I’m allowed to have an opinion on it and express that opinion.
Christmas isn’t about what you spend. For kids, it’s the magic of Christmas that they will remember, that’s more important than wasting money on loads of presents that won’t be remembered.
I think that is a great selection. from experience I know children love anything that makes noiseMy son is almost 2, I’ve got him..
Pyjamas, slippers and a woolly hat- £47
Book- £4
Bath toy- £5
Kinetic sand- £6
Lidl wooden birthday cake- £5
Sticker book-£5
Musical instrument set- £25
Chocolate buttons- £1
So around roughly £100. I’m worried if I get more, he would get bored of opening presents
My in laws went batshit crazy on my eldest for her first Christmas. She was really overwhelmed and it took days for us to open them all. What you're doing is wonderful.My son is almost 2, I’ve got him..
