<human>: Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this but I don't know where else I should post this. This is not a gift request; rather, I'm asking advice on how much money is appropriate to give in my situation. 

My apartment has recently been completely renovated. My aunt and my uncle helped me A LOT with the renovation, especially my uncle, who has experience in renovation. I want to say thanks somehow and I thought the best way to do that was through a gift card to a local hardware store. They are planning to renovate their bathroom soon and I thought that the gift card would be perfect to help them out.

Thing is, I don't know how much I should give. I was thinking of giving about $2500 (CAD) but that seems like a lot. That is also more than half of one of their salaries, and I don't want it to embarrass them by giving them too much money, if that makes sense. I was thinking of lowering it to $1000.

I've already bought a card for $2500 after much deliberation, but I think I made a mistake because, as I said, I think it feels like too much. I can't return the gift card (good job, me), but I was thinking I'd just buy another gift card with the current gift card and save the rest for any other hardware expenses that I might have.

My main questions are: How much should I give to express my huge gratitude for their help without making them feel awkward by giving them too much money? Is there anything else I could do to thank them (given the fact that I've already impulsively bought a gift card that I cannot return)?

Any advice is very much appreciated!

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
