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

[Goldenskeletons]

Just curious.

Plus the cakes are always in region of £70

Faints clean away

Having more input to birthday gifts was one of the markers of growing up. Especially when we were allowed to use birthdays to upgrade things that we would otherwise have had basic versions of, jeans, shoes etc.

50 - 100 but depends how well off you are and how they are going to spend it!
Mine are quite a bit younger than 15, I can appreciate the amount increases with kids ages.

I would give £100 cash then spend 100 on openable presents

£250

be at all the £100's, I would probably give £50.

Another £100.

Never gave cash to dc, they always told me what they wanted and I got them something from their list. However, I always told relatives to give them cash or vouchers if they asked what to buy them.

I’m quite shocked at the 150-200 suggestions. I would say £50 is sufficient x

I think £50 if you have already bought other things

I'd give £50. Hundreds is unnecessary for a 15 year old, surely. Maybe I am living in a different world to others on here.

i am a teen and get whatever my age is x10, so 15th birthday got £150, 16th birthday got £160 etc

£100

Really it depends on what you can afford to give.
In our house probably £100 and a couple of token things to ope.

Dd is 15 soon. £100 and spent 30 on some small bits to wrap

My dd's friend was recently given £1000 for her birthday. They're not even wealthy far as I can tell... normal house and car etc.

But that aside... I'd give £150 or £100 if she wanted a party too

@PASStheCAKEandCHOC

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.

Have you not heard of Colin the Caterpillar?

£150 to £200

My youngest turned 15 last year, I gave him a tenner for each year, his dad did the same.

Screw colin #TeamCuthbert

£150 and maybe a couple of little presents to open. Phone accessories/PJs/socks

Surely it depends in what you can afford for some that may be £20
For others £200 , there isn't a right or wrong amount
My ds just had his 16th and we spend about £80 -100 on presents as that was what was affordable to us this year, other years it may be £50

£250 (he was a saver and would have put at least half in the bank)

150 to 200.

I'm obviously stingy l would say £50.00 plus a few wrapped up bits

It would depend on what they planned to do with the money. It would be around £200 - 300 here.

£70 on a cake?!?!? I'd get it if he wanted some fancy unicorn thing and was 6 but honestly, get him Colin the caterpillar (or rival version!) and either give him the balance from that plus £100 or whatever. Or spend cake balance on taking him out for dinner.
