Miss Manners: Should I tell my niece to put more money on gift cards?
An aunt received a $25 gift card for a pedicure that costs $49 and is wondering whether to tell her niece what’s appropriate to give.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am an aunt to a niece who is married with two sons. She’s always been somewhat naive about certain things. This last Christmas, she gave me a $25 gift card to a place where I get pedicures. I was somewhat surprised, as a pedicure here costs $49.
