How much do you spend on birthday presents for your kids friends?

I usually spend 4 or 5 pounds, BUT it will have been something from the sale so originally was about 10. For a special friend i'd spend a little more.
Thanks to this site and the grabbit section I never spend full rrp on anything anymore :money:

Cards we always get from Card Factory etc as they usually have 7 for £1. If the present is for a best friend then we will spend nearer the £10 mark but if it is for a class friend who they play little with then no more than £5 and sometimes cheaper if I can spot a bargain!!0

cousins children get either a £5 note or we buy something for £5
Can get nice tshirts/craft sets/jigsaws/games for that price especially if you shop around
Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together0
