Hi. I'm wondering out of curiosity..is it acceptable to give £5 to a niece or nephew as their gift? If you work full time or live at home. Is £5 for their only niece or nephew acceptable?

I'm curious.

Thankyou 😊

I think if you don’t have kids you don’t really know about gifts so yes then they’d probably think they can go buy sweets or something with it. I’d be happy they even thought of them, a lot don’t!

I think that people on here like to insult. This is the first time I've posted on here, genuinely just wondering if people think it's acceptable to give their own family £5 in a card..when they have money to do whatever they want.
People can voice their opinions without being rude.
People have their own ideas of what is acceptable or not. I personally think it's not.

Wow.

If i was struggling i'd likely have the discussion with the parents and say £5 each is all i can afford this year but generally i'd say £10 each would be my budget.
