How much money to put in a kid's birthday card?

[Bji6gh]

It's a friend's child's birthday - she turned 11 and instead of a present I was going to give her some money. How much would you give?

Depends. What would you spend on a present for the child? And what can you afford? They would guide me.

My kids get money from their great aunt in a card, she sends £10-15 and they're always very pleased to add it to their allowance and spend it. Kids are 8 and turning 10.

I was thinking of putting in £20 but not sure if that's too little.

£20 is generous.

£10

We do £20 if is just a class friend but cousin etc £50

I think £20 is very generous.
I was going to suggest £5 to £10.

I would do £20.

My best friend's DD got £20-ish, 16th and 18th birthday were a bit higher.

A school friend got £10

I would do £25. You can’t even get much decent for less than that.

£20 is not too little at all. £10 would be fine £20 is generous.

I do £20.

DD 15 just got 20 in a card and I thought that was (just) overly generous. Much appreciated but 10 would have been too!

£5 - £10. I wouldn't give a friends child any more than that.

we gave Childs friends £20 this year. They turned 11.

She is my best mate. Usually we do actual presents for kids but it's been manic at our end so cash will do. But I've never given cash before so not sure how much is right amount

£20 for children that I’m not related to and aren’t my godchildren.
