I think it is unwize to spoil the kids too much by being over the top on the cost of presents for them at Xmas and birthdays.

We never buy on credit for Xmas or birthdays, and have never spent more than $300 on our son at these times.
Fine, but some items cost a bit. Say a PS3 and some games, a good set of Derwent pencils, an Ipod, whatever. I just feel happy watching them open the things on Xmas morning and dont fuss too much

Cheers
