Frequently asked questions
Is $50–100 too much for a neighbor or teacher?
Context matters — some schools cap teacher gifts. For neighbors who've helped repeatedly, this tier appropriately reciprocates effort.
Should 'other' splurges include a card explaining why?
Yes. Specific gratitude ('for watching our dog all week') transforms a nice object into a meaningful gesture.
How is this different from a full gift guide?
This page is a fast shortlist for a known relationship and budget. Gift guides go deeper on buying criteria, who should skip an item, and seasonal context.
