Please settle an argument......

£5000 should do it

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

buy him a new car obviously.

 

[mr sheen]

£50-£100 depending on personal circumstances. £20 is not enough.

 

[Chicken Runner61]

£25 for a grandchild

 

[fat old seagull]

Impossible to answer really, it does depend entirely on what the pair of you can afford bearing in mind it will be times five in total. Somewhere between £20-50 I guess. I was ecstatic to get a ten bob note !

 

[vegster]

£25 is about right, mind you one of the young girls at work is taking driving lessons ... at £44 an hour ! I could do that,have a 3 hour day and be better off than now.

Tight bunch of *******s.

@ 17 if he is earning it wont be a lot. Its for a cause. Why dont you lend him the money for a car and have him pay you back.

We have 11 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren and they get £30 each as do their parents. Sometimes it's a present. Sometimes a gift voucher. Sometimes it is cash. But it is 30 notes for birthdays and the same for Christmas.
Last index linked increase (from £25) was two years ago.

Sweet Jesus. I've got two nieces and two godchildren. I was bemoaning the cost of having four children.

Mond you, one godparent suggested I buy 15 hardbacks of Roald Dahl for the baptism. The best price I could find was £350.

 

[Worthingite]

A ton sounds reasonable to me. Maybe £200, with the first £100 as a gift

Her next quote after me reading out the replies on here are......and I quote "It's all blokes answering on there and blokes are tight fisted when it comes to presents unless its to do with beer and gadgets and football"...............

I was going to say that all sounds a bit contradictive, but then I remembered, ( been single a while now), not sure whether to raise or lower my suggestion, I just know it will be wrong whatever I say..............

Charge him interest too, it's Christmas after all.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

£20 but as a one off £50 on his 18th maybe (then presents might stop haha but probably wouldn't)

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

£100

My missus say's 30-50 if you can afford it......also she says if he is the oldest give him a 100 and when the others get to that age they get 100 too but for this year the others get just 30 each

 

[wigman]

£100

 

[Deleted member 18477]

50-100 quid is about right if you aren't rich. Poor kids these days. Cars, insurance then flats/homes. So bloody expensive.

 

[atfc village]

My late Gran gave me £5 for my birthday every year up until she died when i was aged 33 ,never heard of inflation.

 

[Hyperion]

£50. Max

 

[SweatyMexican]

What's the argument? Who wants to give what?

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

How much did you spend last year? That much. What he wants to spend it in shouldn't guilt trip you into more
