What are your thoughts on buying “big” gifts or any gifts at all for a 1st birthday? 
My sister just dropped a minimum of $200 on 2 presents for her daughter for a first birthday. That’s just dumb to me, they’re not going to remember that 🙃

I literally wouldn’t have an opinion on what the next mom spends on her own child for any birthday.

Kristen · Answer

I don't spend that kind of money. Oh well though it's her kid I guess she can spend what she wants.

Tacomomma · Answer

I think if it’s something that they can use for a couple of year then by all means. But if it’s something they will grow out of quickly it’s a waist!

Caylin · Answer

Exactly.. I spent $80 on my nieces gift but it’s a 4-1 radio flyer trike. It’ll be used for years!

We spent quite a bit on his party, but only got him one or 2 small gifts. He’s the first grandchild and both sets of grandparents and aunts and uncles and Gd parents all spoiled him, but we made sure to ask for clothes and books over toys. I also managed to resell most of his decorations, so that helped. My youngest’s first bday won’t be as big, but he’ll still get the photographer and smash cake (we’re repeat customers and friends with our family photog so she gives us a discounted rate).

Caylin · Answer

If only y’all knew the whole backstory lmao, but you don’t. I still stick & stand by my opinion and you’re more than welcome to have yours and I’ll respect that 🙂

❤️ · Answer

If she can afford it and that’s what she wants to get, props to her. I definitely wouldn’t be on social media bashing my sister. That’s her child not yours let her rise her the way she wants, sounds like she has a very spoiled little girl. Happy baby , happy momma!

Jasmine · Answer

I was thinking the same thing!! I’m going all out for every holiday for my baby girl and will feel no shame at all by doing so.

Kayla · Answer

I spend around 200 on gifts also for my sons first birthday parties and there party event around 400. I mean it’s her money she can buy what she wants with it. And I hate the saying oh why did you do this or that for your  kid they aren’t going to remember it. I feel like as a parent weather your kid remembers it or not it’s always going to be a memory for you as a parent. Let your sister spoil her daughter and just be happy for her.

Jasmine · Answer

If they can afford it, and that’s what they like to do then why does it matter to you? Sounds like jealousy to me!!!

Nadia Fourie · Answer

I fully agree with you there... If she can aford it or not its her problem.. Its not nice talking about her sister like this..

Food Is Love 💕💕 · Answer

I would just be grateful instead of saying that’s dumb . When someone gives me or my daughter a gift we are grateful that’s how I am going to raise my daughter

Caylin · Answer

Why would I be grateful for what she’s buying her own kid 🙃

We are always grateful for gifts WE receive. I believe you miss-read. We are not receiving these.

Food Is Love 💕💕 · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, I did miss read I thought the gifts were for you but for my daughters first birthday we want all out it’s a big milestone to celebrate why not

Mandy · Answer

If she can afford it great! Tell her to pay it forward and donate it when she's done with it..I'm guilty of over spending when it comes to my daughter's birthday but I usually splurge on just one item and buy her sensible things that she needs as well.

Caylin · Answer

Also the other gift lol

RoseMom · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, hey now she has a fancy chair to sit on lol

Caylin · Answer

@rosemom, I’ll be thoroughly impressed if she sits in it. My daughter is 2 and has a cheap beanbag chair she just whips around and crawls all over. I’ve never actually seen her sit still with it

RoseMom · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, my kid can’t sit still in one place either lol

Caylin · Answer

Behold the $100 rocking horse/deer thing lol

. · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, exactly! I’d rather buy my kids clothes, shoes, a vacuum 😂😂 (I really do mean him one not me he is obsessed🙃) but I couldn’t spend $100 on any toy or thing like that it won’t get used long or they will outgrow it to fast

imagination ~clover · Answer

My daughter would have that shit on and stained in 5 seconds 😂

Kristen · Answer

My daughter got a horse for her birthday. It was no where close to a $100.

Deleted · Answer

It depends what it is. If it seems useful, reusable and worth the money than yes. But if it’s more for my sake (cause it’s cute or fun) than no.

Caylin · Answer

Her case was more for “cute”

Deleted · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, is it her 1st?

Caylin · Answer

If y’all wanna know what she got she got a rocking horse and a toddler princess chair.

Icebergahead · Answer

That is pretty up there. But I guess she wants nothing but the best.

. · Answer

We bought kaysen a standing up toy for his first birthday and kooper a mini ball pit thing that was on clearance 😂🤷‍♀️ I didn’t go all out but that’s just me and there grandmas spoils them with to much crap

Icebergahead · Answer

It is her choice but now I am curious to know. I would just get basic items that baby would use.
Minimal.

Caylin · Answer

I commented below what she got

imagination ~clover · Answer

Depends was it something the baby needed ?

Caylin · Answer

Hell no it was a $100 rocking horse 😂😂

Icebergahead · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, I can find a nice one for less. But I like to bargain hunt. Maybe she did it just to boast that she spent that much. Sometimes people love to brag like that with out realizing it was a bad investment.
She should start a savings bond with $200🙌 but I guess it would not sound as cool? I dunno.

Caylin · Answer

@icebergahead, girl idk because I know she can’t afford that so I’m just shocked 🤐 I love to bargain hunt. I’ll only spend the money I have to, and I’m sure as hell not buying a $100 rocking horse

RoseMom · Answer

I agree with you. I don’t see the point of a huge party or expensive kids, they won’t remember the party.

Caylin · Answer

We will always have parties but I’m usually smart about costs.. she also dropped $100 on decorations I can’t 😂

RoseMom · Answer

@tutusandtouchdowns, for my kids one year birthday we bought them a little cake sang happy birthday and recorded he worn remember a big party and we don’t have family here so it was better that way. But yeah if we would have had a party i would try to save the most money
