Kids and gift giving

[GeneF]

When our kids were very young, 5 or so, we use to give them 50 cents a week. (That was 20 years ago and 50 cents could by more than today)  This was money they could do with as they wished.

One thing that was encouraged was that some amount be saved and the kids were pretty good about it.

Comes Christmas and time to buy presents for Grampy, Grammy, etc.

Kids were ready to go shopping and the trip was to the Dollar Store with money they had saved.

They had a great time Christmas shopping and finding just the right trinket for someone special.
