That depends on your budget. If your rent is lower than the price of the necklace... I think you have your answer.
-
800? what are you thinking of? How about a necklace worth much less and sponsoring a needy child with the rest...they only cost $30 a month.

Depends on who you are asking it from. For my 16th, I asked for a box, so to me it does seem a BIT much
-
well, I would say yes, but I know that a lot of parents by the kids cars for their 16th birthdays as well so their isn't much of a difference really. In my opinion, I think in either case the parents are spoiling their children, and that the kid should have to buy the car themselves if they want one, but I am probably in the minority on the car issue.

Well, I look at it two ways: $800. for a necklace at Tiffany's is one of the least expensive necklaces they must have there. and It depends on the income of the parents. Age 16 is a big deal for boys and girls. Some people give their kid a car at age 16 that is worth alot more than $800. I think it is within reason if the person getting the gift is a good kid and a good student in school. It's a choice the parents need to make based on their income and what kind of child they have - very deserving at age 16 or if they are being pressured into it. If they feel anyway pressured, then I would say get something cheaper but just as meaningful.

If it is a hardship for your parents to come up with the money for it, yes it is too much to ask. If your family is wealthy, then it probably isn't.
-
That depends entirely on what your parents can afford to spend.

Um, yeah. I wouldn't even own an $800 necklace for fear I'd break or lose it, and I'm some years older than 16.

Considering I asked for a car, I guess not. However, that car was only $1,050 (used). And I drove it work so I could pay my parents back for fronting the money to buy it and help my mom pay the bills. An $800 necklace just looks nice and doesn't do much more than that. If your parents can easily afford it, I suppose it isn't a lot to ask for. If they cannot, then take whatever gift they buy for you and appreciate it just as much.

Hell, no. You're only 16 once, and that's not too expensive for Tiffanys. Go for it!
