I really wanted to get my son a cute custom shirt for his first birthday but they are all so expensive and I just can't…

You can always make one or buy a nice one for cheap

I'm the same way!! If you go on etsy you can order 'custom iron on decals' and buy a plain or whatever shirt from Michael's for a few dollars. I made my nieces really cute shirts for the baby reveal 😁

I just ordered two shirts for 5 bucks through carters! I just hope they fit him in a few weeks @charmed040309, @ohbabybaby88,

I have a machine that can cut iron ons! What were you thinking of doing?

I'm not sure I saw some cute ideas online but idk what I'd be able to find by myself. @justusthree,

@missjess you could always try ebay or Amazon. For our kids birthday everything's cheap minus the cake lol

@missjess even if it doesn't not a biggie. I put my daughter in 3 months outfits and they're somewhat huge on her

Yeah I'd rather spend that money on gifts for him. I wish I had the money to go all out but I don't. He's already having two parties and maybe a 3rd with his father. So he isn't going to be without lol. @charmed040309,

@missjess lol I can understand. My oldest is getting one gift which is a bike and then our second gets another gift. Come Christmas they'll get more, but their birthday gifts will be expensive

Yeah, idk how my mom always did it! My twin and I were Born Dec. 10th and my older brother was born Dec 29th so 3 birthdays on top of Christmas. I think my older brother got kind of jipped come his birthday. I think usually he got birthday/Christmas presents lol. It's tough though. Things are so expensive these days too. @charmed040309,

@missjess it is. My oldest has his birthday Dec 29th and my middle child share the same birthday which is Nov 25th. Poor Sophia may get jipped too because her birthdays may 25th

As long as the kids know they are loved and get at least a couple things they ask for I feel like that should be good enough. I know as the get older they think we just have a money tree in the backyard but they need to learn it's not like that. I know my son will always be taken care of and have what he needs and then some. But I don't want him to grow up acting like a spoiled brat either! @charmed040309,

@missjess I can completely understand. I always tell my oldest when he asks for something he may have to wait till daddy gets paid and that he can wait. His response is okay, but you'll tell daddy or I will. I usually laugh saying yes of course Jr lol
