I'm having a small birthday party thing and want to give "goodie bag" things, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. What are some good ideas to put in them?


Answer
Well, if it's an all girl party with kids between the age of 10-14 then I would suggest:

-Lipgloss
-Nail file
-Cute removeable tatoos
-Notepad and pen
-Keyring
-Chocolate and/or lollies
-Stickers

That's all I can think of atm

How much money do you spend on a newborn for the first year of life?

I am doing a project in health called baby cost analysis. We are trying to find out how much it costs to take care of a child for the first year of life. I need a few ideas of what to put in. (like what foods, how many diapers you use, how much you spend on clothes that year, what furniture you buy, etc.) If you could help me out I would really appreciate it! Thank you!


Answer
Well i'd have to think about that actually! i have 4 kids, so ill just give you a run down of the starter supplies i got and then how much food, diapers and clothes i bought in ONE months time for just ONE child.

starter stuff-

12 oneses- pack of 4 cost $8
12 pack of socks- $4
12 jumpers 3 pack of jumpers-$8-$12
12 footless sleepers, 3 pack of footless sleepers- $8
4 blankets- $10 a piece
12 recieving blankets i used as burp clothes, 4 pack-$8-$10
baby nail clippers-$2
snot getter (that blue thing you suck snot out of noses with)-$1
Crib-$400
dresser-$250
change table-$250
towels-$10 for nice ones, $3 for regular towels (which i prefer)
baby hangers- 6 pack-$4
baby tub (if wanted)-$12-15
Stroller-$150-$350
portable travel crib-$150-$250
Carseat-$60-200, plus a forward facing seat at age 2 $100-$300, and finally a booster chair for older child, around $40-$80


The occasional purchases-
baby tylenol-$10
baby motrin-$10
mylicon-$10
baby lotion-$5
and other medications- orajel, teething tabs, teething rings, little noses, little tummies (and all medications w/the brand name Little _fill in the blank_)- ranging in price from $2-$10
toys during age appropriate times- anywhere from $5 to $40
Clothing purchased every other month or every 4 months during growth spurts-$150-$300

monthly purchases-
Diapers- 4-6 packs of diapers per month- $10-$15 a piece
Baby shampoo-$5 a bottle
Baby wash-$5 a bottle
Baby food- usually 50-60 cents per jar, when buying around 12-14 jars twice a month
baby cereal-$2-4 per box
baby juices-$5 for a 4 pack
baby snacks-$2-4 per box

Perscription medications when sick-
yearly around $50-$150

and omg there's just so much more when you consider trips needing extra things like smaller travel strollers, diaper bags, special snacks that are travel size or packaged better for travel, shoes when they start walking and it's cold (mine dont wear shoes in the summer unless we are at the park), replacement toys that get lost, replacement socks that get eaten in the dryer, LOL, birthday gifts, holidays, etc.
I don't even want to think about how much i've spent on my 4 children over the last 13 yrs! i just might pass out!

oh btw- i didn't include formula which might be around $150-$200 per month, because i breast fed mine...so should i have included my own nursing clothes? oh well.
