And according to the results of a survey at The Prowl, most parents feel exactly the same way I do and are refusing to leave the comfort of their homes in order to procure a Tickle-Me-Whoever. Just 24 percent of moms plan on doing all of their shopping in stores! Black Friday deals? Pssh, forget it — forward us coupon codes instead. And even though the average wait time on a holiday store line is 37 minutes — guess what? — the average time it takes me to click a button and then grab a snack is just under one minute. I’m in line with most other moms who took the survey except for this finding: on average moms spend $224 per kid for the holidays. Don’t get me wrong: I would like to only spend $224 on my child at Christmas. We work hard for our money and it sometimes kills to see it wasted on a toy that our little one might outgrow in a matter of months. Is there anything worse than finding an $80 doll she wanted so badly shoved in the corner of her room like it’s a dirty sock? But I’m a realist here. Toys can be incredibly expensive and tend to become even more pricey as kids grow up and desire sophisticated technological devices or sporting equipment or what have you. I don’t believe in getting our children everything their hearts desire, but I don’t spoil my daughter at any time throughout the year. I enjoy seeing her eyes light up when she receives a gift she truly wants. And the sad thing is the price for toys adds up quickly. Her rocking horse is $40. A scooter costs about $45. The doll house we’ve been thinking about getting her for six months is a whopping $330. I’ve surpassed the survey’s “average” spending price on just three items. I could certainly stop there. But then three gifts doesn’t seem like a lot, so we include little throw-ins — each of which costs about $15 to $20. And before you know it — we’ve totaled about $500. It’s wasteful. It’s absurd. But it happens once a year and it’s fun. How much do you typically spend on your children during the holidays? Image via ToysrUs.com
