My cousin has been with a girl for 3-4 years now. They are in their very early 20s and they recently got an apartment together. My cousin is unemployed and his girlfriend dropped out of college. They have a bad/dysfunctional relationship and this girl is not a very good match for him. But they moved in together...
I usually give my cousins $ for Christmas. They are much younger/less established and can really use it. I give this cousin's sister $100. I would like to give my this cousin $100 as well, but I do not want to give her $100 also. No way. They are not married or close to it so giving to him doesn't cover her (as in $100 joint). Can I give him $100 and her a gift? In the past I gave him what I give his sister and I gave the girlfriend a small gift and $25. Can I still do that now that they are living together? Thanks. Too complicated.
