Totally disagree.
A much better gift to bestow on a child, is to learn that you can't have everything you want, just because 'everyone else has'. If you want something, earn it.
The other things you mentioned have nothing to do with material goods.
Like generations of happy kids, who grew up poor, and clean, being happy isn't connected to what you have.
It's being loved.
Neglect is down to feckless parenting, regardless of how much material goods they give their children.
