Many of us live in completely different worlds... different realities. I guess its all relative in the end, but I almost crap my pants when watching tv shows with affordable Christmas gifts. Doing Christmas on a shoe-string kind of thing. Well, we sure have different shoe strings.
"You can get this holiday dress for only $99.99." That's almost my entire food budget for the month.
"This toy for a young girl is only $59." That's a car insurance payment.
"Here are some stocking stuffers for only $9.99" You mean that's not the main gift?!
Pardon me while I cough out "WTF?!" But in all fairness, if I made $5 million a year these, indeed, would be inexpensive gifts. Its all relative.

I agree, and they make it seem like if you don't spend a fortune it means you don't care. When I was a kid, on Mother's Day we bought flowers and a card - a bunch of flowers, not an overpriced arrangement from some hoity-toity boutique. I've gone back to this. I've told my kids to just buy me a bunch of flowers,if they can afford it. I know they love me, and how much they spend doesn't influence how much I love them. I don't need any more 'things' and I can enjoy the flowers for a week and when they die, bin them.
