Hey Rebel.
What's a reasonable amount to spend on a present?
Ummm, IMO, nothing!
I've got an agreement with my family and friends that we don't buy each other any presents. That includes Xmas, birthdays, Mothers and Fathers Days.
The only thing I will buy is some flowers from Interflora on my parents anniversary, but that's it.
I used to send $50 gift vouchers, then the other party would send me one in return.
Seemed like a pointless exercise, and expensive, especially at Xmas.
Not many people that I know have spare money to throw around, as the cost of living in Sydney is so high.
I may seem like a tight-arse, but that's the way it is!
A phone call, and a couple of drinks together will suffice IMO.
I don't have kids though, so I can't really comment on that.
Cheers
