What's a fair amount?

What's fair to spend on a wedding gift, a Secret Santa or the tooth fairy? For each, here's what published surveys found, then what our readers said when Verdicts asked them at one amount. We quote readers once 100 have answered, with the dates they were asked.

Nothing here yet: the first occasion appears when its verdict opens. Today's verdict

Readers' figures come from Verdicts, our daily question, each asking "Am I being tight?" at one amount while it was open. Readers of vouchernaut.com who chose to answer, one answer per browser. The results describe the people who answered, not the whole UK population, and aren't weighted. We quote a verdict once 100 people have answered it.

Survey lines are in each survey's own words, with its year and who it asked, and link to it.
