What is the usual amount to give in the Lai See packets for relatives childrens (all are under 10 years old, so assume huge amounts are not needed?)? And we give 2 packets, is that correct?
OT - but any suggestions for amounts to give cleaners/doormen/security guards?
Thanks. :)

Thanks Cara, that is very helpful. Does anyone have suggestions for how much to put in Lai See packets for relatives children/cousins?
Thanks again.

in singapore, you only give one packet out as a couple instead of 2. we have relatives in singers so the breakdown as follows:
cousins and the older ones' partners too if they are unmarried: SGD 10
nephew: SGD 50
regular baby group kids: SGD 8-10 (really depends how much 'fresh' notes i have managed to get from the bank)
my part-time cleaner: SGD 80
my part-time babysitter: SGD 50 (she just started)
security guards/cleaners: SGD 6-10 (again, depends on availability of 'fresh notes' in the right denomination)
hope this helps. don't worry too much about it, it's the thought that counts at the end of the day. have a good time!

someone told me that $20 is accetable minimum and $10 is way too low even for the doorman - is this not so?

Yes. However Wheelymate is quoting SGD, and SGD 10 is about HKD 55.
