- How much should I spend on a classmate's birthday gift?
- Most parents spend around US$15–$25 (about AU$20–$35). A thoughtful, useful gift matters far more than the price.
- Is it OK to just ask the parents what their kid wants?
- Yes — parents are usually happy to be asked. Even easier is when they share a gift list, so nobody has to send the text.
- How do I avoid buying the same gift as someone else?
- Use a shared gift list. On My Gift Hint, guests claim a gift once they've chosen it, so nobody doubles up — and it stays a surprise.
