My little one isn’t even teething yet, but my wife and I were talking the other day about what we used to get from the Tooth Fairy when we were kids.
Has the Tooth Fairy kept up with inflation?
What are your little ones finding under their pillows?

$5 a tooth, although I’m a little cheap and this was 8 to 10 years ago. Probably up to $50 a tooth now with the recent inflation 😁
Bluey seems to have set the going rate to 5 Dollarbucks
That seems like a reasonable amount to me - enough to get a little treat or what-not, but not enough to destabilise the economy
I’m pretty bad at tipping, I usually give too much so I don’t know I just shove $20 and hope for the best lol.
Wow! $20! That just made me go look up how many baby teeth kids lose: 20. So you’re in for $400
Look… Math isn’t my strong suit okay I just really like my kids 🤣
We went down this route, and it’s one of my big regrets. Was AU$2 a tooth and a wish, which started as an easy and cheap soft toy (think a couple of bucks max). But it’s turned into $2/tooth cumulative, ie. Tooth 10 gets $20, tooth 11 gets $22 etc, and a wish… Cue late night runs to Kmart and lots of grumbling about why we are doing this.
SEE! I panicked and just started throwing money at the problem! I’m barely middle class on a good day so it wasn’t the best idea.
I did $5 for the first one ever, however, weeks later she had a meltdown and demanded that the tooth fairy return the tooth. She even tried to put the $5 back under her pillow🤣.
All sales are final
What… I thought a twoonie was generous! You guys are all crazier than I am.
When I was younger it was 2$ so by today standards according to inflation statistic it would be around 3$
Our tooth fairy leaves $5 bill origami. Last tooth had a $5 ring left in it’s place by morning.
