Tooth fairy.. How much?

tanda627 · January 2012

DD lost her first tooth today. How much do you leave? BFF says she does $5. It that the norm?

$5 is a lot, IMO.

We were going to do just a $1 bill, but then I decided to do that plus one of each coin. When people ask DD how much she got from the tooth fairy and she says "$1.41" , it seems pretty random LOL!

DS got $5 for the first tooth and $2 for second one. We'll probably stick with $2 for the rest of them.

We haven't lost any teeth yet...something that is driving the 7 yo nuts. However, when we do we plan on giving a dollar coin and another dollar to spend in the dollar section of Target. The first tooth will get more, probably $5 or $10 and the dollar coin.

This is a big decision! I was thinking 4 kids x 30ish teeth (right?!?)....whew, that's a LOT of money!

We did a $2 bill for Ben's first. I was going to do $1 coins after the 1st, but H says to stick with the $2....so I guess that's our plan. Thankfully it will be pretty spaced out!

I used to get a quarter!!! I think we will give LO $1 when she looses her teeth.

Let's just say there has been inflation here : ) More than any amount posted.

We do a buck.

We did $5 for the first tooth. $1 for each additional.

We'd do $1 when LO got of age! Only because my parents gave me and my siblings $1 and H doesn't really care, haha.

We did $5 for the first tooth and $2 for each subsequent tooth.

oh gosh, I planned on doing like $5 for the first and a dollar after, BUT we live in a rural area where it's not convenient to just run to an atm or get change so DS recently lost his and got $10 way to much(it's the smallest bill I had), I think but what could I do? Now it has probably set a standard for my other 2 kids..
