Just wondering what sort of friend is this?
Is it someone in their class?
If so £20 is way too much & I would be surprised if you would be expected to spend that much!

sorry didnt put its carls friends little sister...... :)
i'm into fairies and she likes my pictures i've got... have looked around at getting something like that :)
i put £20 as not sure how much to spend.... lol

£20 seems a lot for a non-family pressie. The most I spend is £5 -7.50. BUT have you looked in a Woolies lately? They have quite a range of dressing up clothes, especially Princessy pink type stuff.

i alwyas spend between £5/£10

home bargains have some brill stuff all very cheap kids love there art sets and there dressing up range from about £3

bought little man an umberella tody n said to dog shall we luk in there first he said no paid £6 for it in woolies went in home bargains the same one £1.99 grrr

£20 is tons of money to spend

woolworths do nice range of pink nighties, or you could get her fairy outfit,
or some pink shoes,
or hair bits, claires got loadsa pink bits, fluffy pink bags hairstuff boas, tiaras ,
its a shame grandaughters abit to young at mo, lol

Phew, glad you all think the same as me then, wondered if I was turning into a meanie lol

I think if you spend a lot it puts pressure on the family to spend a lot back for your children too and then it gets into a vicious circle of spending.

i was thinking too £20 a bit much, but i didnt want you to think i was a meany.......... lol, will get prezzies up £7, think thats enough :)
cheeers, kaz xxxx

i used to find it more fun to find sumut for a fiver
i couldnt of spent 20 on friend,
i cant give that to nephews now,
i onlly get dad pressies, and our kids, now,
i had to stop others cos it got beyond,
mnd you kids are grown up so their mates dont do that now

I always found little girls easier to buy for. Stuff like smellies and hair bobble sets can usually be rounded up in various shades of pink and packaged up in a pressie bag to make a nice present for them.

TAKE HER ANDA FRIEND OUT
TO DINNER
SOOO GROWN UP

TIP
IF KID BRIGHT DONT BUY FOR AGE
GROUP

I have drawers under the spare bed and I keep one of them for pressies.

I buy little bits when I see them and sometimes get little kiddy stuff for the tiddlers next door. I've managed great presents for very reasonable money. I can sometimes grab things on sale for only 3 or 4 pounds which look a lot more expensive.

These people http://www.russimco.com/ are not far from me and they've sold stuff for incredibly low prices at village fetes. They usually have a Christmas sale at their headquarters.
