To think this is a reasonable gift?

[AndroidB]

I got my cousin a coin purse for her birthday, rrp was 10 pounds, but I got it for 5 pounds in a sale. Cousin is soon to be 17 and I'm in my early 30's. Obviously she doesn't send me anything for my birthday but neither does her mother, my aunt, for my birthday. My aunt also only occasionally sends me a card and has never sent my partner a card in the 10 years we have been together. Also I'm never invited to her birthday meal, but other family members are always invited. Is this a reasonable present/ amount to spend? Or am I being tight?

I mean in my family we stop buying for the extended family (cousins, aunts) when they turn 18.

So let next year be the last one and you can all be done with it.

I'd shove £10 in the purse

Thanks for the, replies. If I don't send a gift other family members will complain, like my mum and sister. So it's more to keep the peace. I will definitely stop after 18th birthday.
Do you have to put money in a purse?

I'd get a shiny/new 50p for it for the good luck thing, but not a real amount of money

In all honesty I agree with a PP, it’s pretty useless. Teenagers are picky, chances are it will be chucked to the back of a drawer and never used again.
Stick a tenner in a card, it will be appreciated a lot more.

The gift is fine.

I'm not sure I'd bother though, its nothing to do with your mum and sister. Why do they get to dictate to you how to spend you money?! And on a cousin and their family who never acknowledges your birthday... [hmm

I wouldn't give a 17 year old a coin purse tbh. She won't use it

It’s a nice gesture and your cousin will hopefully remember that you bothered. Put a coin in the purse.
