    Money in a card???

    Ok so Ive been slack and havent been to the shops so Im going to put money in a card for the party my son has to go to this evening
    How much money do you think is the right amount?
    10 15 20
    he is 10 years old
    I was thinking 15 because thats probably what I would have spent

    I would probably do $15-20. My Nana used to say a dollar for every year but I am sure inflation would have kicked in by now, making it two dollars

    As for being slack, you really need to do more online shopping

    All DD1 wanted for her birthday was money in a card, lol. She got a bonus & lost a tooth the night before too, so scored very nicely for her b'day. $10 from the tooth fairy (only coz it was her birthday & we owed her from the tooth before as well) & $13 from nan & pop

    Nah, I think money for a kid that age is great. It'll make his day! Just think, how often does a 10 year old get to have notes of his own?? lol

    My DS is 10 years old and all he and his friends want is money. Makes it easy

    Random friends from school get $10, closer friends that he spends time with outside of school get $20.
