Can I ask how much to give adult children and grandchildren.
I already have bought my gds their presents but am never sure how much to give , My family are in well paid jobs , but there is 6 adults. Is £50 each in cash or gift cards as requested a reasonable amount. What do you think , thoughts please.

I had a lovely lesson from my 24 year old niece the other day. As a family we are not exchanging gifts this year.

I would have preferred to do so to be honest. Then my niece said that the best thing about Christmas is all being together and laughing so hard that your cheeks hurt. Sometimes it’s good to have a reminder of what Christmas can be for those of us who are blessed with family and friends. Best wishes to you all

Very wise. Money takes the fun out of Christmas.
