Everyone has different amounts they can afford or feel comfortable spending, and how much you spend on a gift often depends on your relationship to the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s natural to want to spend a decent amount on your own child\u2019s birthday presents. However, the exact amount you spend is ultimately up to you. Many parents spend an average of \u00a350 to \u00a3100 on birthday gifts. Of course, if you\u2019re springing for an activity party, which can be costly, you might spend a little less on the gift. After all, children are more likely to value the experience of their party over the things they receive. In addition, if they have friends giving them gifts, they\u2019ll be receiving plenty of toys and games on their big day anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if your child plans to attend all or most of their classmates\u2019 parties, the money can really add up! This is why many parents choose a range or a number\u2014often 5 to 10 pounds\u2014to budget for each birthday gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, some parents do make exceptions for their children\u2019s close friends. While \u00a310 might be the limit for regular classmates, many parents are willing to spend around \u00a320 on a gift for their child\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many people, cousins and other close relatives fall into the \u2018close friends\u2019 category when it comes to spending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re buying for a godchild or grandchild, you might even spend as much as their parents would on a gift. Of course, this is not expected\u2014what\u2019s most important is that you stick within a budget that works for you and select a gift the child is sure to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n4. What Gifts are Good Value for Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSo you know how much you want to spend, but what should you buy? Many parents prefer to select gifts that children will be sure to use. This could mean a book, a sports activity or craft set, a board game or card game, or a STEM experiment or building kit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course, if you\u2019re spending on the higher side or you have any doubts, it\u2019s probably smart to ask the child\u2019s parents what they like. This way, you can be sure to get them a gift they\u2019ll love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
