If your DS asked for cash for his 15th birthday how much would you give?

[Goldenskeletons]

Just curious.

£100

I don't know as my guys are still tiny! 😂 £100? Is it towards something?

£100.

Probs around £100

Around £100

I would say £100.
DD turned 13 last week and just the trainers she wanted cost £70! I tell you it's a shock how much kids things cost.

100-150 for aged 15… as trainers would be around the 130 mark at least 🤣🤣

£100

Surely it depends on the amounts of money he generally has access to - from you and anyone else. Also on what he wants to do with it. (Have you asked him?)

Maybe £150
I'm glad there are suggestions of £100.
I always feel really stingy on the "how much are you spending at christmas" threads!
And lots of posters appear to think having teens means you automatically have a bigger budget!

Another one saying £100.

How much would you spend on a gift normally? I'd give that if it's £50 or so. If you normally spend more I would give £50 cash and the rest in a bank account if you think he would fritter it.

£100

What you can afford

I did £200 And a few bits to open as would feel wrong otherwise. Just bits like, phone chargers ( he breaks too many) sweets, a funky mug etc.
I would do more but I have 2 of my kids birthdays the same day.
Plus the cakes are always in region of £70
Meal out (well lockdown this year meant just a take away so was cheaper thankfully)
But if I don't have it they have less. But we do save for Xmas and birthdays.

£100 if that's all he'd like. I'd buy some inexpensive things so he had something to open.

If he wanted money as well as other things then it'd be £50.

I gave him £100 recently and bought a few other things to open (mainly clothes, that I would have bought anyway) and chocolate etc.

Whatever I would usually spend on presents

Depends if I was also spending money on some sort of party or day put. Probably £200-£250

Totally budget would be £250 so depends how much was sent on party/activity etc .

*total

Probably about £50 as that's how much we are going to spend on ds (15 next month) birthday presents. Feel a bit stingy now though.

Probably a few hundred

We never did cash as gifts, they get plenty from other relatives and can ask for cash if they need it for something anyway.

What do they want the cash for do you think?

I am maybe a bit suspicious as I was not a model teenager!

£100
