Tooth Fairy - Going Rate?

Methinks then it will be £1.50 for the first one (just so I can experience that feeling of smugness Lunar Eclipse has got me all excited about!!) and then 50p every tooth thereafter ... well, he has got 20 teeth!

£2 for the firtst one & a letter from the 'fairy' to say this is a special rate for a first tooth, then a £1 coin for the rest. (Sometimes in our house the toothfairy is very very late & has to sneak in the next morning whilst child is indignantly telling Dad there is no money there!)

My 6 yr old gets £1 coin or if abroad 1 Euro + ice cream.

My son got £2 for the first tooth and then £1 for every other. I remember getting 20p when i was a child.

I think its great the way that kids believe in the tooth fairy !! I told my son she gets in the house through the letterbox.

I don't think 'our' tooth fairy would be able to oblige with more than whatever the going rate was, but she would probably leave a note (tiny spidery font on the computer) explaining that.

:rotfl: tooth fairy sometimes gets held up, of course.

I was walking home with DS1 once when one of his little friends tagged along with us, and proudly showed me the tooth he'd lost that day at school which he was taking home. His plan was to put it in a glass of water under his pillow, so I asked why. "I am going to drown the tooth fairy" was his explanation. :eek:

Visions of a rather wet bed flitted through my mind so I was glad when we bumped into his mum and I could tell her what he was planning to do! :rotfl:

I used to get 20p per tooth or whatever my parents had in loose change at he time ithink. I once got a letter instead from the tooth fairy when my parents obviously had no change in the house, i treasured that more than if i got 20p:A It was then i think at 6 that i wanted to be a tooth fairy when i grew up:A

we got £1 for every tooth, consistency was the key tooth fairy grew weary of us as we reached double digits (age-wise)- when we were cute and little in the early days of toothlessness we wrote to the tooth fairy and got a letter back explaining she could only write once to each child but thanks for thinking of her (greaseproof paper and writing with the wrong hand, in this case left handed!). Unfortunately devils that we are, we started to hide the tooth and egged each other to find better places- 18months difference, a blessing and yet a curse - although when mine was hidden under something in the bathroom we got a stern talking to and told that any more hidden teeth would not be reimbursed totally worth it though

well i'm 20 and I used to get £1 off my mum under my pillow, but then my gramps used to say that the tooth fairy had looked at my tooth and decided it was the best she'd ever seen, and had asked him to pass on an extra £5. lol.

I remember getting 5p,10p maybe 20p (I'm only 37!) which was enough to buy a choccie bar (therefore encouraging loss of more teeth?).
My six year old gets 50p - I've told her fairies only really like to use silver coins. Of course, she could wise up and expect 2 50ps...!

We used to give our 12 & 13 year olds a pound per tooth. Once our two year old starts losing his we'll give him the same.
