Anywhere between £5-15 ish for her 'normal' school friends, then for really, really good friends, a bit more.
Amazon often have really good offers, and quite often I end up giving what looks like a 'big' present for under a tenner!
I used to buy all birthday gifts from Northcote Rd, but it cost a small fortune, so now I'm afraid I buy online!
The Book People have fantastic deals on books, quite often I buy a collection of books and split them up for gifts.
Cards again used to be Northcote Rd, but so, so expensive, so now I either get my daughter to make them, or Sainsbury's (the big one on Clapham High St) has cards which are fine for 25p or 99p so I stock up on those.
I do think that kids are getting SO much, my daughter had 35 kids at her party last year, and whilst she loved opening 35 gifts (!) it did seem excessive.
Not really sure what the solution is though...
