Frequently asked questions
Who should give $100+ kid gifts?
Typically close family or godparents. Friends of parents usually stay lower unless pooling for one big group gift.
How to avoid spoiling with big-ticket items?
Tie splurges to milestones, pair with responsibility (care instructions, shared use rules), and avoid competing with parents' own planned surprises.
How is this different from a full gift guide?
This page is a fast shortlist for a known relationship and budget. Gift guides go deeper on buying criteria, who should skip an item, and seasonal context.
