I'd say the amount is less about how much you earn and more about the social circle you're in and the kind of family you're from.

+1. This is exactly us too. We don't spend based on our incomes because it would be unfair or turn into a spending nuclear arms race. Our siblings gift us $50 and we gift them $50. It's more about the present/thought/effort than the money.
