Children aged 7 to 15 in the United Kingdom spent an average of £13.00 a week in 2002-2003 to 2003-04. Girls spent more than boys, at £13.60 a week compared with £12.40 spent by boys.

Boys spend more than girls on ‘games, toys, hobbies and pets’. At ages 7 to 9, boys spent £2.40 a week (35 per cent of their total spend). This was twice as much as the £1.20 a week spent by girls (17 per cent of their spending). By the ages 13 to 15 boys were spending £2.60 a week (14 per cent) and girls just 50p (2 per cent) on this category.
