How much for an 11 year old?
Hi
It's my niece's birthday next week (she will be 11 if you hadn't worked it out from the title :lol and I want to give her some money as she's saving up for a laptop.
She was always the only grandchild in the family and we used to be ridiculously generous (??50+) for each birthday / christmas. We had our lo this year and want to bring the present prices back to a reasonable amount as we don't want her parents to feel obliged to do the same to our lo but I am not sure what a reasonable amount is ... (I was thinking ??20 but then thought that was too tight, so thought ??30 but think that might be too much)
I know in the end it is what we can afford and what we are happy giving her but I just wanted your opinions please.
Thanks in advance

First nephew is due any time and other than being born presents I doubt we'll spend more than ??15-20 on any presents.
