Nothing! An adult child is an adult and just a card should be fine. No matter how old your child is, if you feel you want to give them a gift then do so. Often when people are in conversation they don't pick up on things people say they may need. It could be something very inexpensive. If you have good financial means then there would be no problem, but ANY GIFT should be appreciated. You could send flowers, give gift certificates to a clothing store or a beauty salon for a daughter, or, tickets to a sports event for your son. It's all up to you. If you choose to not give gifts any longer then make sure you communicate this fact to your children. Most of my girlfriends are all in their 60's (most with grandchildren) and they still give their children Birthday and Christmas gifts. Hint: For daughters costume jewelry such as a pendant on a chain, a ring or bracelet in COSTUME JEWELRY (generally very inexpensive, but well made) is a good gift. If your son loves movies, then get him a few tickets to a movie theater. If there is a concert for a certain band or a theatrical event coming up that your daughter or son may want to see get them tickets.

∙ 8y agoThat is up to the parent's discretion. It depends on how many people they plan on buying for.
If you can afford to give your children $100 for shopping then do so. If you can't then don't.
Children can be taught to make gifts that often mean much more to the giver and to the receiver.

If an adult child of an elderly parent has signing authority on the parent's accounts can they make gifts to themselves and their siblings?
Assuming you have Power of Attorney the answer is no. You are a fiduciary and as such your authority is governed by state laws that govern fiduciaries. What you suggest breaks all the rules and would be considered self dealing and possibly theft. It may result in personal liability. A parent can give gifts of their assets to their children. However, you are going out on a limb if you take it upon yourself to do the same. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your position, responsibilities and liability.

If the adult son is the one applying for Medicaid, money received from the parents prior to the application will likely have no effect on his eligibility.
