    What's the going rate for a one for all voucher these days for an 18 year old? (My nephew, one of many!)
    Is €20 considered stingy?

    Just give them cash. Or a couple of flaggins.

    If it is the only birthday/Christmas present for your son/daughter, then probably yes, unless there are straightened financial circumstances.

    Otherwise, generally no, but it all depends on how close the person is, and how your budget is.

    Even a hundred in a voucher is stingy. €20 cash is worth way more than any voucher.

    It's 20% of net annual income, Uncle Sparklinglens

    As others have said, 20 cash in a card. Gets a few pints. Voucher for 20 doesn't get much. One for all isn't much good for a young lad.

    I'm near 30 and I still sell a one for all to my mother if I get one!

    €20 will buy a tray of 24 Bud in Dunnes, plenty for him.

    Still a tray of Bud though. Overpriced by about €20.

    You're some bo11ox.
    After all she has done for you...
    Bearing you into this world with out a complaint ... suckling you at her breast...wiping your arsė for you....cleaning cut knees...putting dinner on the table...ironing your shirts...discreetly throwing your cum encrusted socks in the laundry...

    O youre some son. You dont deserve an Irish mammy. I bet your sisters give her their vouchers, but its all "Lyle this" and "Lyle that".

    Cut out the middle man, just give a tenner to the shop and a tenner to the kid

    because that's how likely the voucher is to be spent.

    Bonus points if there are travel and time costs to spend the voucher.


    Cash and write a note with a suggestion on what it might be spent on.

    didn't get what's the occasion ?
    - for bday I would have thought its on low side, as for primary school kids (not family) we're getting 25-30.

    €20 is grand to give an 18 year old, I reckon. If they get that from everyone, that’ll be a nice bundle of cash. Give them filty lucre though. 18 year olds just need readies.

    ok, for that should do.
