How many gifts do you buy your children on their birthdays?

People get more than 1? o.O

I buy one big gift for my daughter, not that i'm cheap but there are so many friends and family members that get her gifts I don't really need to get her too many.

There's usually one thing that the child wants and I would get them that.

As far as I'm concerned my son's birthday is more relevant to me than to him, so my husband always brings me flowers etc.

In my family we usually get 1 gift per person max price is around 60$

I usually only got my daughter a few small things. The family went a little nuts however. These days (she's 11 now) I get her one good thing. An ipod this year, a sweet bmx bike last year. Its not good to overdue it. They appreciate it more when its less. I think anyway. Because too many things will just get overlooked or lost

Wow really? I usually got 2 or 3 presents as a child, but they'd be 2 or 3 things I really wanted.

Most kids don't need loads of stuff, it just encourages an overly materialistic attitude. The best thing you can do is make your children feel extra special on their day, which doesn't require a barrel of toys.

So I would suggest between 1-5 toys.

I just asked by mum and dad, and they normally bought me about 8 things, apparently. It always felt like a lot more to me. I don't think it really matters, it depends on what it is, and if it something that they really want. Tbh, I doubt that the 4 y/o is old enough to care that much, so just a couple of items would be fine there.

Well my sons are twins so we have to make sure we buy them the same amount of gifts, usually three each - always a book for both, a gift they would appreciate like a toy (they're 5), and usually we go on a trip to a surprise destination for their birthday.
Nothing over the top!

Kids these days grow up to be entitled, selfish assholes because they are so spoiled at a young age. Kids really are becoming like Dudley Dursley, from Harry Potter...it's really disappointing. I think kids should get 1-3 REALLY special gifts on their birthday. It's not about the quantity of the gifts, it's the quality.

i take a shit in a large box to make them think i got them something super special.

the look on their face when they rip it open..... :D

I usually get around 3 or 4 things that I really want. And there usually not cheap.

I think it depends on how much the presents themselves would cost. If you're getting your kid an iPad, then you should probably only give them one or two other small things, but if they aren't all that expensive, you should probably give them something else.

Normally I get one big gift (such as a bike or a phone) and about 3 smaller gifts (such as $10, crackle nail polish, and combos).

Quality not quantity! Although I suppose when you're four your attention span is a bit too short to be distracted by just one toy...

well id usually get one big gift or like 2-3 small ones. Depends how much money you have and plus you dont wanna spoil the kid, its not good.

One gets NONE. He's a criminal and he sells everythng he can get his hands on, gift or stolen.
