New Year's gift for a 2-year-old, how much is the market? Do you decide the amount between relatives? New Year's gift etiquette explained [Mamari]

Some of you may be planning to get together with your relatives at the end of the year and have started preparing for New Year's gifts. You may be surprised at how many people have had the experience of wondering at what age they should start giving New Year's money. This time, I would like to introduce the market price of New Year's gifts for 2-year-old children. For those of you who have a 2-year-old child or have relatives who have a 2-year-old child, we will also introduce the voices of senior moms and the etiquette of New Year's gifts.

A 2-year-old child whose words increase little by little. But they are not yet old enough to understand the value of money. However, if relatives have the opportunity to meet each other on New Year's Day, there may be occasions when their two-year-old child receives New Year's money.

On the other hand, if you have a relative who is going to see you on New Year's Day and has a 2-year-old child, you may be wondering if you should give them a New Year's gift. My mother also asked me this question.

About my husband's nephew and niece's New Year's gift. I have two sisters-in-law, and they have six children in total. By the way, I am the only child who is six months old. 10 years old, 5 years old, 4 years old, 2 years old, 1 year and a half. How much would you give?

There was a post saying that he was worried about how much to give to his niece and nephew, since there will be six of them. If you have a large number of children, the expenses will increase, so you may be wondering what age you should give them.

Please let me know the market price of the pocket money you give to your relatives. We are thinking like 👇, but is it small? 2-year-old children → 1000 yen Children in 2nd and 5th grades → 3000 yen Do you want to share?

There was a question about New Year's gifts given to relatives who are 2 years old and elementary school students. I feel like it's a little early to give New Year's money to a 2-year-old child, but it's a pity that only one of the siblings can't get it, and as a child, you should wonder why. If you have siblings, you may need New Year's money even if you are 2 years old.

What is the market value of New Year's gift for a 2-year-old relative's child? I would like to see it from Mama's post.

This is the amount that my children receive... Upper grades 2000-3000 yen Lower grades 2000 yen Kindergarten 1000 yen Babies 500-1000 yen ^ _ ^

It is the voice of a senior mom who says that infants cost 500 to 1000 yen. 2-year-olds don't know the value of money yet, and it's difficult for them to buy things by themselves, so even if you receive a small amount, you may not have to worry about it.

1,000 preschoolers, 2,000 preschoolers, 3,000 elementary school students, 5,000 middle school students, 10,000 high school students.

It is the voice of a senior mom who says that preschoolers are 1000 yen. Of course, the contents are important, but for a 2-year-old child, receiving New Year's money should be a joy. If you use a cute pouch bag or a pouch bag with a character that children like, and it looks fun, they will be even happier.

10 years old → 3000 yen 5 years old 4 years old → 2000 yen is 2000 yen.I'm worried about how much difference to make depending on age, but I want to avoid making too much difference because it creates a sense of inequality.Amount varies by age While doing so, be careful not to cause trouble between children.

Pre-school children on my side → 1000 yen Elementary school students (all year round) → 3000 yen Junior high school students and older → 5000 yen On my husband's side pre-school children → 1000 yen Elementary school students (1st-3rd graders) → 2000 yen Junior high school students and above → 5000 yen

It is the voice of a senior mom who says that preschoolers are uniformly 1000 yen. If you decide the same amount for elementary school students and younger, you may be able to give it without hesitation. I think that the amount of 1000 yen is just right.

Do families with two-year-olds give their children New Year's money? I would like to introduce it from Mama's post.

We give New Year's money to babies *U* though we don't give them to our own children. The same goes for both the parents' side and the Yoshizane's side *Ü*

This is the voice of a senior mom who says she won't give her child a New Year's gift. If it's a relative's child, even a baby seems to give a new year's gift, but it seems that my child does not. When the moon is young, parents will manage it, so I thought it might be an idea that they don't have to go out of their way to give it as a new year's gift.

My parents' house and Yoshizane's family have New Year's gifts for babies! But I won't give it to my child 🤔

Similar to the previous mom, this is the voice of a senior mom who says she won't give New Year's money to her child. Surprisingly, there may be some houses that give money to children when they understand the value of money and how to use it when they are in elementary school. I think it's okay to decide whether or not to give this based on the ideas of each family.

Some people may be wondering if it's okay to give New Year's money to a 2-year-old child who still doesn't know the value of money and how to use it. It's hard to know from what age you should give a New Year's gift because there is no correct answer.

There was this opinion in Mamari.

I started taking them when I was 2 years old. Until then, it was things, not money.

This is the voice of a senior mom who said that she had been receiving New Year's gifts from the age of 2 until then. It may not be a burden for those who receive things that children use, such as toys and picture books.

When you turn 2 years old, you can eat various things, and it is also a time when your ego becomes stronger, so it may be better to say "Buy it with your New Year's gift" without making mistakes. .

I think elementary school students are fine too (о´∀`о)

This is the voice of a senior mom who says that it's okay to give New Year's money from elementary school. My daughter is 3 years old, but she has never given a New Year's gift, and she has no plans to give it to her next New Year.

There is a perception that money can be used for shopping, but I think that it is better to understand money a little more. I suddenly wondered if it would be okay to give a New Year's gift when they reach elementary school age.

Otoshidama also has manners.

It is a good idea to put the New Year's gift in a pocket bag and write the child's name in the empty space. The next thing to pay attention to is the orientation of the bill. Place the bill face up and fold the left third over the center and fold it inwards. Next, fold the right one third over the center and fold inward to complete.

Once you have folded it in three, put it in a pocket bag while being careful not to turn it upside down. When inserting coins, make sure that the front side of the coin is facing you.

If the other person is in mourning, do not use words such as "congratulations" to celebrate the new year or "New Year's gift" written on the pouch. Normally, it is common not to give New Year's money, but if you want to give it to your child who is looking forward to it, it is smart to say "pocket money".

Two years old is no longer a baby, but it's still a difficult age to think for yourself and manage your money. If you give a new year's gift to a 2-year-old, the amount is small. I'm sure they will be happy just by receiving a New Year's gift.

If you are unsure about giving money, there are other ways to do so, such as giving sweets or small toys. Please use this as a reference so that everyone can enjoy the upcoming New Year holidays.
