Do you buy gifts for daycare friends?

Is it really the standard that I'm supposed to buy stuff for all the kids at daycare? It's an in-home and there are 7 of them. I was going to make them all something, but I decided not too...Target's dollar section had crap...so,  I guess I can go to the Dollar Tree tomorrow, but I just don't think I care anymore. But, I also don't want to be the only asssshole that doesn't buy them all anything.

Re: Do you buy gifts for daycare friends?

  • No, I don't buy for the other kids and none of the other parents at our daycare do either.  It is a small in-home daycare with 5 other kids.

  • No, I'm not either.  One of the moms sent in Yogi and Boo Boo stuffed animals for everyone but that's it.

  • Yes, but just E's BFF and now Ian's little friend (he's also our really good friend's son and we would have gotten him a gift either way).

    We don't buy for the other little kids that go to daycare.

  • We do not buy for other kids.
  • What if you just made cookies and gave each kid a couple? Then you won't feel weird being the only one that didn't bring anything (like Halloween) but you still wont be out a bunch of money. Smile

  • No we didn't probably because I really don't know which kids are there and it changes day to day.

     I still need to drop off my daycare lady's present.  Just plain old simple cash.

  • cheap coloring book from Walgreens (33 cents), box of $1.00 chalk, and 2 candy canes in a cheap bag from Walgreens 

    the kids squealed when they got their presents 

    K and I put these together for her friends.  She had a lot of fun making presents for her friends.  

    Nobody else does this so I think it isn't the norm to give gifts.  

  • I got the kids at daycare the cutest Hallmark Charlie Brown Christmas book that has sounds and music. They were originally 14.99 at Walgreens... on sale for 9.99 but then marked down "last chance" at 7.99. They all LOVED it. I just slapped a bow on them and handed them out when I picked him up yesterday. I did one per family for the ones that had a toddler and an infant. They were located in the greeting card aisle near the recordable story books.
