People spend different amounts on birthday gifts. Some think a nice, expensive present shows care. Others think a small gift is enough. For example, they may give a drink at a pub. They may also choose a simple card or a home-made item. The big question is this: What is the right amount to spend? Many people feel pressure to buy something costly. But others believe the gift should match the person, not the price. The best gift is the one that feels thoughtful.
