Gift Giving Etiquette (batteries not included)
Do you purchase the batteries as well if the gift you are giving requires them?

I can barely remember batteries for my own sons toys! So, no!

I will always attach the right batteries to the gift.

Re: Gift Giving Etiquette (batteries not included)
Yeah--i always feel bad about the idea that the kid might get the present (whether for my niece, nephew, friend's kids, etc) and be excited and then there are no batteries.
so we always make sure we get some!

Re: Gift Giving Etiquette (batteries not included)
Always! But I don't think anything of it if they aren't attached to a gift we receive bc I usually have a supply of them around.

Re: Gift Giving Etiquette (batteries not included)
It depends on who the child is, and what the toy is. I know for myself, I prefer using the rechargeable batteries (better for the environment...  ), so if I know that the recipients parents are the same, I won't always include them.
Some times, I just forget....

Re: Gift Giving Etiquette (batteries not included)
Not only do I buy the batteries, I put them in so the child can play with it right away. I think it's great they put those screws on the cover so the child can't get in. Seriously, when the kid is having a breakdown because they want it then. it's totally worth it to put the batteries in.
