Not the party – just on gifts, alone?Just curious what’s “normal” for you all.
We’re an average income household. His party will likely be about $250. He hasn’t asked for anything in particular, but we’re wondering what others have done.
I know income is a huge factor, but even if I were a millionaire I think I’d still try to stick to a budget.

Kinda depends on if they asked for anything, but $50-150 probably
I was thinking of $100
Personally, $250 sounds like a lot for a party
Have you asked if they would rather have a party or more expensive gifts?
I’d say $100 give or take is fair. Especially if this and Christmas are the only times of the year they get anything big – so to speak.
Mines an only child. He got an Xbox for his ninth bday.
I spent $150 on gift which may seem expensive but we stopped having parties years ago, no one ever shows or supports him. We make the best out of what we have and most importantly we have each other.
I hope your son enjoys his birthday!!
