“If the jointly agreed budget is over 20 dollar then almost anything is possible. Naturally you shouldn’t go too far, simply because even if you’ve agreed that gifts should cost over 20 euro it’s far from reasonable for everyone to expect a gift worth a hundred euro.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of room for maneuver in a budget of this size, allowing you to select highly personal and appropriate gifts. In order to ensure that a gift really suits the recipient’s personal tastes, you should find out about the person in advance – as long as you don’t let on too early what the final gift will be! For instance, someone who’s passionate about tinkering with cars won’t enjoy the gift nearly as much if he knows in advance that he’ll be getting a moneybox in the shape of a split screen VW Bus so that he can save for the next spare parts he needs.
