[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these responses seem kind of harsh.  My question to the OP is what price range does Grandma typically gift? Does she spend a few hundred $$ or $50? OP wasn’t requesting that Grandma spend more. In any case, I would apologize for offending her and tell her that wasn’t your intention. [/quote]

Usually around $100, which is wonderful! And you're correct in saying that I wasn't asking her to spend more. My own family would be delighted to help with something like this, but cannot. And I hope that if I ever become a grandparent, I am able to pitch in for enriching experiences.

Again, I now understand why this can be seen as tacky. Kind of embarrasing. But in my family it wouldn't be.[/quote]

I'm not a grandparent but I am an aunt and godmother and asking to help out with a school trip wouldn't phase me at all.  We didn't have money for this kind of thing when I was a kid and I would be happy to avoid that feeling for a kid I loved.[/quote]
