To give my kids some inheritance to splurge and enjoy?

[tricerotopsrule]

I have inherited some money after a parent died last year. I have earmarked a chunk for my kids for their future (age 16, 15 and 12) but we are about to go for a city break to London and I’m in a dilemma about whether to give them a decent sum of money to enjoy in London and if so how much?!

I want them to enjoy the freedom of being able to buy some things there to enjoy and in memory of grandpa but also don’t want them to get too much and piss it up the wall on nonsense! My dad was a saver and I hear his 'sensible' voice and him shaking his head at me but life is for living and enjoying.

Any advice? I’ve no idea what might be a reasonable sum to give them each for a short holiday. Thanks

what was each of their share? @HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend

Thank you for all your responses, really helpful! I've decided I'm going to give them £300 each but say there's no pressure to spend it in London (but they've not to ask me to buy XYZ when we are there as well!). Im also going to look into opening savings accounts for them and put some money into them and help them learn about saving too.

We are doing a few amazing things when we are there and also just wander about and explore too so hopefully it will be a fab trip to remember (and thank you Grandpa!).

Have a great time!
