What do you typically spend on a baby shower gift?

[Anonymous]

My standard is $50ish - whether friend or coworker or family member. Is that reasonable?

50-100. Higher for closer friends

I guess I’m cheap. Usually $30-50 for acquaintances like coworkers. I only have a few close friends but a large family. They all get $100+ depending on the circumstances.

$50 for family and friends. Less for coworkers.

$30 aquaintance, $50-$75 for casual friend, up to $150 for close family/friends. I did $65 for a casual friend recently but also spent $100ish making the entire event’s desserts from scratch as well. She is also a close friend’s sister and DH’s coworker.

$10-15 for coworker group gift

$50 for less-close friends

$100 for good friends

$200 for closest friends/when named godparent

$20 ish maybe for one new gift. But for close friends who also appreciate buying used things, I’ll buy a series of small, useful things over time from consignment swaps.

$20 for coworker group gift, $30 - $50 for friend, $100 for best friend, $1000 cash gift for family member

$20. It's a baby. They'll never know, and whatever it is will be used up and given away within a few months.

For coworkers, we do a collective gift and I'll give $10-20

The parents know. So what if a gift gets used up? That’s the point.

$50. $75+ for very close friends. Sibling would be several hundred but neither have had any kids.

$10-20 for a coworker shower
$50-75 for most others

Maybe more if it's one of my closest friends, but that ship has sailed.

My gifts for friends have been about $25-50, but I've also hosted all of the baby showers thus far - food, decor, games, etc. So I consider that part of the gift as well, and that's been a few hundred on top of that eat time at least. If/when my bff has or adopts, I'll probably drop around $100-$200 on her (lives too far for me to host a shower).

No one in my family has had kids yet but me. I'll probably do $50 for cousins, our sibs decided on child-free.
