Answer

Direct answer

Give cash discreetly to the intended recipient or an agreed collector, with enough identification to avoid confusion.

Use a secure envelope or a verified payment route and confirm who the gift is for, particularly when several households collect presents. Keep amounts private rather than announcing or displaying them. A brief personal note can make the intention clear without turning the gift into a financial obligation. Ask before assuming a particular presentation ritual is wanted or that both spouses are automatically the named recipients.
