Quick answer
Divide your gift budget so close family get a bigger share. With ₹15,000 for 12 people and 4 close family members at double weight, each close relative gets about ₹1,875 and everyone else about ₹940. Set the amount first, then pick gifts within it, not the other way round.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your total gift budget.
- Count everyone you will buy for, and how many are close family.
- Choose how much more close family should get.
Formula
Per person = budget ÷ (others + close family × weight)
Close family each = per person × weight
Prices rise close to festivals. Buy early and compare the final price after offers.
