A hundred is a fair amount, even with inflation. My office's secret santa limit is 30 bucks, Canadian mind you so, like, 15 quid, and while co-workers are not nearly as important as your own kids, that's the upper limit, not lower. Especially for a kid, a hundred quid is a lot of money.
I'm assuming they mean for gifts, of course. If they're some maniacal accountant, and counting room, board, utilities, food, beverage, amortized education expenses, etc into that 100, then yeah, I can see how it might dwindle fast, but in terms of gifting? 100 quid is 2 NICE toys, or 3 decent ones.
