The answer: It depends on the occasion and your relationship

Before going on the hunt for gift ideas, let’s first answer the dreaded question: What’s the right amount to spend on this gift?

  1. What’s the occasion that’s prompting you to give a gift? You may need to spend more for a wedding than a birthday.
  2. What is your relationship? The appropriate gift amount for a coworker is likely different than one for your child.

Luckily, we built a simple tool to help you sort through it all.
