Don't have young children myself, though I have friends who do. I think the worst are my neighbors' grandkids: with indulgent grandparents and divorced parents vying to buy the kiddies affection, they get an unimaginable (to me, anyway) amount of stuff - and have more fun playing with the wrapping paper & boxes than with any of the toys.
I refill the plastic water bottles too. I'm lucky enough to have a well with really good water, but even when I've spent time elsewhere, a water filter (I think Brita is the brand name?) takes out most of the urban water taste - and most bottled water is just filtered, anyway. Also the larger 1-2 quart plastic bottles are great for hiking & long bike trips: since empty ones weigh almost nothing, you're not packing around excess weight.
