$50 or $100 depending on how close you are and what level of income you have.

$200 seems reasonable

Anywhere from $5-200,000,000 depending on what you can give.

To be fair to your aunt - I think $80 is a fine amount, would probably just round to $100

Omg! So glad I asked! TYSM for your comments. Yesterday my 80 y/o aunt recommended $75! Also curious, would it be weird to give an Amazon gift card instead of a check?

@manager Yep. She’s THAT good! 🥰
