At birthdays, I go to the Dollar Tree and buy them the character things they like, puzzles, books, chalk, coloring stuff, etc. I usually spend about $20. I do this for my toddlers. My SA kids will only get a gift if my kids are invited to the party since they’re only FT during breaks.

At Christmas, I buy every single child a gift, doesn’t matter if it’s for the toddlers or SA’s. I buy each age group/gender the same gift. My SA girls got slime, my SA boy got Uno cards (a game he and I play a lot) my toddler boys got Hot Wheels and when I had infants, they got the Fisher Price stackable rings. I think I might’ve spent $100.
