New Research from TK Maxx suggests that children's parties are causing a cost of gifting crisis with families struggling to keep up with the extravagant parties and the pressure to deliver an Instagram perfect party for their child.

 

A third of parents say they are cutting back on  spending on gifts and to save money further we are seeing a return of the old traditions of pass the parcel and jelly and ice cream. 

 

I spoke to Toyologist Peter Jenkinson and Alex Steadman editor of the Frugality to find out more about this.
