OMG I'm so sorry for this superlate reply! I'm just about cleaning my inbox and found that I didn't answer to your reply yet D: However, since you had a question, I still want to answer XD You can ignore me though lol
I think it's somehow common that people give their grandchildren money in Austria (where I'm from) and I think it also applies for Germany since we have such a similar culture, but it depends on the family and such. And the amount varies too! Like when they give you money as a present for birthday or Christmas, it's a bit more (depending on the wealthy of the grandparents), if we went to visit them, we sometimes got either sweets or a bit money. Like one of my grandmothers used to give me and my sister 2 € sometimes lol and used to say "This is almost half a manga, right?" (I used to buy lots of mangas when I was younger and they costed around 5 - 6 € at that time lol) I think it's especially common when the grandparents don't use to spend that much time with the grandchildren, it's something like giving them money out of a bad conscious or because they want the children to like them? XD lol But that might just be my impression.
