Naughty or nice, there is always a limit to price...
The man, the myth, the legend is making an appearance soon. Santa is coming in hot!
Regardless of whether little ones have been naughty or nice this year, we expect that they will be dreaming big with their wishlists.
From bougie to delusional, moms of the internet have been sharing their dilemma. So this year, Santa will have to be on a budget.
Check out the new level of extravagance parents are having to navigate:

Yearly, parents can expect a usual mix of toys, gadgets, and maybe a pet unicorn. Yet, this year, our kids have seemingly tapped into an alternate dimension of imagination where wishes come with quite a hefty price tag. Many people have attributed this to access to social media.
The North Pole mailroom is overflowing this year with requests of necklaces, Nike dunks, iPhones, and more.
We have no doubt that Santa's elves might need extra coffee this year and parents will have to have a reality check with their youngsters.

While Santa's workshop might operate on Christmas cheer, magic, and elves, the real world has price tags, debt, and receipts. There may be some budget-friendly deals to secure a top notch gift, however, the struggle is real for so many South Africans.
