Bloobi, took me a while. KSP's probably talking about purple $2's; red $10's and blue $50's!

Think the purple can't be $1000 right??!?! :!: :!:

Wah u must be very bright! I got stuck at the purple, not that I knew what a $1000 bill looks like.

This is our usual practise.


Other relatives’ maids that we see at gathering - $2

Kids in general - $6 as we’ve 3 kids. Most exchange are $4 but they have 2 kids so cannot let ppl lugi.

Special cases - $10 (eg. unmarried grown up cousin)

Immediate nieces/ nephews - $20 (we all use the same rate for years) The funny thing is the most of them have 2 kids but we’ve 3 and youngest sil has 1. But it’s still a flat rate per child.

Grandparents - $100 each

Parents - $200 each

Share market has been having diarrhoea lately so maybe some who got burnt might cut down the budget…

For me:
$4 for general;
$6 for people we regularly give <we've got 3 like MMM, so must let people break even ma!>;
$8 for a special group of friends' kids (coz there are 16 kids in total);
$10 for first cousins and first cousins' kids and our 2 remaining single good friends ;
$20 for my sole niece and my sista (now gotta give her boyfren some more ...aiyah DH says this is future dividends :evil: );
$60 for our kids;
$80 for grandpa;
$100 for parents

and I give my own parents out of my own pocket because I want to :love: they've been pillars of strength to me and my family, even DH adores them!

Yah, nowadays, my minimum is $4 (last year $2 cos hangcheng pai). Not that this year is better like MMM says, but there’s this feeling of inflation, like my plate of charkwayteow shrink like that.
