My other half’s great nephew had his 16th birthday recently. He opened his cards, looked at the money inside and tossed it all aside with a brief grunt of thanks..He received £300 in all. I remember getting socks, record tokens, things I would never use and having to write to letters to everyone concerned to say thank you.
I just turned 56 and have an aunt who still sends me $10 or $20 for my birthday. I asked her to stop, but she said it made her happy, so what can I do except thank her every year.

Lame. He’s 28, so give him 28 bucks, Auntie!

As an uncle for a nephew I do this, because he always saying he needs money for gas. A gallon of gas should be enough to get him where he needs to go.

You’re blessed if you have an uncle or aunt who still puts money in a card for you at age 28.

I had a great-aunt who gave my brothers and me a dollar every Christmas until she died. We were in our twenties.
