How much did you spend on 3rd birthday gifts ?

So I am absolutely terrible at money management 🤣. I am aware all budgets are different but I just want an idea of budget and what types of things did you buy ❤️🙌 I normally do £600 ( $770) just toys but I’ve been told this is silly 😅

If you were a single mom, and one of your friends got you a small gift for your bday what would you appreciate more?

I wanna get my friend who is a single mom a thoughtful gift that she will use for herself. I was at target the other day and bought her toddler a cute portable tent that I know he’d LOVE! Ofc I have the receipt if she doesn’t want it but she’s talked about needing to get one and it was on clearance so I figured why ...

Gifts for new dad

Hi, my husband's birthday is coming up soon and I have zero ideas for what to get him. I was thinking of something personalised as it will be his first birthday as a dad. We have a 8 month old baby. Any ideas? Many thanks

Weird, not weird question?!

So I’ve seen on tiktok and all over internet that american women expect from expensive to very expensive engagement rings?! Like more than $1000 Is it true? Because in Europe I’ve never heard someone complain. Like $100-150 ring is fine, even less. Please, bring light in my life😫🤣

When to start buying stuff??

When did my fellow August mummas start buying stuff? Did you prioritise buying certain items first? I haven’t bought a thing yet and feel very overwhelmed by it all!

Shein

DOES SHEIN DO FREE SHIPPING DAYS ANYMORE? I know it’s only four dollars. I feel less guilty when it’s free shipping though! I feel like I haven’t seen one in months!

3 yr old child

Would it be weird for dad and I to buy some gifts for our three year old to open at the baby shower so he don’t feel left out? We want him to continue to love this baby but don’t want him to be upset that he didn’t get any gifts? If that makes sense

How would you feel if your boyfriend/husband gave you a $100 for your birthday instead of a gift? x

Would you be disappointed that it wasn’t something more personal/thoughtful or would you be grateful that you got something at all? X
