The Joy (and Cost!) of Gifting: How Much Do Aussie Families Spend on Kids' Parties Each Year?
As a mom and the owner of Mommy's Pouch, I understand the joy of celebrating our little ones' special moments. From birthdays to festive holidays, every occasion is an opportunity to spread joy and create cherished memories. But have you ever wondered how much Aussie families spend on gifts for kids' parties each year?
Let's break it down.
On average, Australian families spend around $30 to $50 on a gift for each child's birthday party. If your child attends 10 parties a year, that's already $300 to $500! And this is just for one child. For families with two or more children, the costs can double or even triple. Factor in festive occasions like Christmas, and the total annual expense on gifts can easily soar into the thousands.
Finding the Balance
While it’s wonderful to give and receive gifts, it’s also important to find a balance that doesn’t break the bank. Here are a few tips I’ve picked up over the years:
- Plan Ahead: Keep an eye out for sales and special offers. Stocking up on great deals can save you money in the long run.
- Thoughtful Choices: Sometimes, a handmade or personalised gift can mean more than an expensive toy. Think about what the birthday child loves and get creative!
- Budgeting: Set a budget for each gift and stick to it. It’s the thought that counts, and there are plenty of wonderful gifts available at every price point.
- Gift Sharing: Team up with other parents to buy a more substantial gift. This way, you can give something really special without overspending.
- Gift Lists: If your child has a birthday coming up, consider creating a gift list or registry. This helps other parents know exactly what your child would love and avoids duplicate gifts.
