I spent so much last year and he was only 3 month and it was a complete waste, he is now only starting to play with those toys. I'm buying him a coupe car (50), around 30 on dvds, around 20 on books, 20 on some small toys and maybe 70 on a trike but that depends. He has three big boxes full of toys in the living room plus cupboards full in his bedroom. It was just his birthday in september so would be silly to get too much. I wanted to buy him a kitchen but my mother wants to buy that, it's £130 but she likes to buy a big present.I'm only buying things I know he will play with and I'm having a major clear out before hand.
I don't look down or admire people on what they spend. I think if you do your best then that is enough. My nephew and niece are 6 and 4 and getting iPad minis which I think is a bit too much on something that they don't really need.
