Arranging a gift truce with everyone giftable in my life has been great.
Not because I'm selfish, but because it takes a ton of stress away not having to figure out what people might want to be gifted (that no one gave to them already). Added bonus: I don't have stuff filling closets and drawers that I don't really want but have to keep because someone might ask "hey, where's that XYZ I gave you?"
Kids are a different story, and 100 GBP equivalent seems extremely generous. I'd rather spread that out over the year in allowance / chore credits and let them buy what they want without pretending in magic chimney divers.
