So this morning I suggested to my gf that rather than give the kids (1 & 3 yrs) a bunch of toys on Christmas day, we drip feed them the toys instead over a much longer period, say, I dunno, a year maybe. This way they'd always have age appropriate stuff, they wouldn't get bored with their toy selection and they'd appreciate more of the things we've bought them as their would be less of a relative value comparison. We could still give them the bigger presents on their birthdays and Christmas day, so those days would still feel special.
She looked at me like I'd just beaten Santa to death with the carcass of the Easter bunny and made the kids watch.
