$20 bucks should suffice... and a nice card.

Sounds like a mooch...maybe dont do anything with this friend where money is involved.  or bring it up and tell them that you can't keep footing the bill, if they keep wanting to, maybe they are in the friendship more for the free stuff then you.

I would say there is not a thing wrong with giving cash as a gift. I do however think that $250 is a bit too much for you to think about giving. If you don't have a lot to begin with why on earth would you be thinking about giving such a large amount?  If you don't feel right giving cash you could get them a gift certificate to go out to dinner. Check out some of the restaurants in the area where they live. Personally I think 25 to 50 dollars would be a nice amount to give them.

so you dont have alot of money. but if you have a little money i would go to the store and get a jello brand, cherry cheese cake. they are delicious. and a nice watermelon would also be great. dont forget the salt. and a good friend to share it with would be even better. you have to make the cheese cake. its really easy. and you get to spend time with youre friend. that is great. life is short . time with youre friends is priceless. for everything else there is mastercard.

Try some of the links below. The first is especially nice, because it answers a similar question where the giver is not Jewish, and as such is unfamiliar with the customs. This isn't just any other birthday - it is about a girl becoming an adult. One common answer is a gift of money or gift certificate in a multiple of $18 (for example, $36, $54, etc.) because of a numerological connection to the word "life." The second link includes items specific to Bat Mitzvahs, ranging from jewelry and picture frames to moneyholders and scrapbooks.

The proper etiquette is to take a gift to their house before or after the event or send a card with a gift card or money order in it.  (The amount would be up to you and what you can afford & how close you are to them.  $20-$50)  Just put yourself in their shoes, if you invited people to either event, what would you want or expect them to do?  Remember these parties are thrown to help the people that are being celebrated with their new expenses.   ;o)

tell them to just give you the money and then go to the bar and spent it if you go to a titty bar the alcohol is usually really cheep and you get to see boobs lol or just have a really big keg party.  Hire some strippers and get some booze lol or just get booze and throw a kickass party.

Be cool, don't say "I'm your biggest fan," and just buy him a drink. The bartender will let him know who it came from. If he's cool he'll say thanks, in which case you can then coolly tell him how great he thinks he is. If he doesn't say thanks, chalk the five bucks or whatever up to experience and let it go.

Well, I think that you should definitely charge to for schools or parties. A rasonable rate is 50 dollars for an hour, especially since he'll have to wear that suit, and it does get warm and uncomfortable. I think at that rate you will also make enough to purchase some nice gifts for each other, and your kids/family if you have them. I think, however, to give back to the community, after he does his rounds where is is making money, he should visit the sick kids ward at the local hospital to spread some happiness to kids in need. It will make you and him feel good, but also will bring Christmas cheer to the kids.

Depends on your relationship with the person graduating and in part where you are in your life financially.  \n\nIf you are a student yourself these guidelines work.\nIf it is a relative or your best friend, $50 is a nice gift.  If it is someone you are not as close to, $25 is totally acceptable.\n\nIf you are older, out in the work force and have the means you can certainly give more if you can afford it.

i would say $20 for a dance, at a club.  In a private environment...like your buddies home the more the better.  As long as the ladies are making money they will stay.  Just remember, no saliva!\n\np.s. thanks for the brew tip

you can always buy them a gift certificate to a really nice restaurant. That way they can have a nice night out and not cost them anything.

None!  God doesn't need your money.  Want to donate something?  Donate blood, give old clothes to the salvation army, donate your time to a shelter or program like Big Brothers/Big Sisters...you will make a much more positive impact than throwing your money into a plate to cover the church's light bill.

If you've got the money, if you think he'll like it, and if you guys are friends, go ahead and give it to him...  I give my friends presents during the holidays- no big deal, right?\n\nIf you're concerned about it being too much, you could always buy him a CD or make him a mix CD or something if you know what type of music he likes.  That's a bit more casual than clothing, I guess (although mix CDs can be pretty personal)...\n\nOh, and after reading some of the above suggestions- planning an activity is always good.  It doesn't HAVE to be a date unless you want it to, just a celebration type thing.  Concerts are cool, but if you can't do that, just go to the movies or something.
