How much one can spend for Gifts: One can buy gifts based on their financial position. But we can keep some points in mind when we select gifts.

1. For giving gifts to kid's friends, you can allote a money from Rs.150-Rs.500, not more than that, since kids will forget the value of money.


2. For elder's gifts, one can spend Rs. 500 to Rs.1000. But if we have two parties in a month, then the family budget will be affected.

3. If the wedding is of a neighbour or a distant relative, you need to spend only upto Rs.500. If the marriage is of your friend the budget can go upto Rs.1000. But if the marriage is of a close relative, gifts worth Rs. 2000 to Rs. 5000 can be presented.

Gifts for various Occasions: We can give specific gifts for different occasions.
