I let her take it because it is her money and she saved it herself, but this bothers me. We are so into the idea of buying something that we will bring money to a store (or bookfair) without a concept of what we need or wish to purchase, just for the point of finding something that we might happen to want. In our house, this item will usually end up buried in a corner within 2 days and never seen again.
I think Hannah Montana and The Suite Life are beating me when it comes to consumer education.
I wouldn't feel so bad, I think this one is less about consumerism and more about the human need to have a relic of having been there.
