I know where of I speak, the ex's family are ridiculous for OTT gifts (he's 8 and had a laptop, and iPad and iPod touch and a Wii, for xmas he's getting a PS/3) but he loves and appreciates the stuff I get him more because I can remember what it's like to be a little boy and what's actually fun, rather than what's expensive.
