My cousin with whom I don't see very often is having a party for her son who is going to medical school. What is an appropriate monetary gift to give?

Money Gift Amounts
by: Ms P Etiquette

Hello Joan,

In terms of etiquette, there is no "appropriate" monetary gift. One should give the amount that feels suitable, is within one's budget and is a sincere gift. Let your heart and head decide this for you. Any gift given is a gift received unless the recipient has poor manners.
