The appropriate amount for a wedding gift varies based on several factors, but generally ranges from $50 to $200 per person attending.

Common gift amounts include:

• $50-$75 for coworkers or distant relatives
• $75-$100 for friends or relatives
• $100-$150 (or more) for close friends, family members, or wedding party members.

A survey of Australians found that 25% consider $100 or less appropriate, while 22% say $50 or less is acceptable. Another survey suggests a range of $50 to $200 per guest is common

Here are quick ways to earn free gift cards:

1. Take online surveys (e.g., Swagbucks, InboxDollars)
2. Use cashback apps (Rakuten, Ibotta)
3. Scan receipts (Receipt Hog, ReceiptPal)
4. Play mobile games (Mistplay)
5. Watch sponsored videos.

Be cautious, use reputable platforms, and remember it takes time to earn significant rewards.

In Australia, there is no specific gift tax, so you can generally gift someone any amount of money tax-free. The person receiving the gift also does not need to pay tax on the amount received
