People gift according to their means.  There is no one size fits all.  A teacher making $75K and a neurosurgeon making $400K+ should not be held to the same standard.

My general rule is that you do about 0.1% of your salary.  If you make $75K, then about $75 for a gift.  IF you make $400K, then about $400 for a gift.  And always, you adjust according to your means.  A person making $75K but with an ailing parent that they are caring for can give less than the $75 if they can't afford more because of medical and uncovered expenses.

I had a friend who came to our wedding whose husband had recently passed from cancer and she had just lost her job.  She gave some very inexpensive gifts from our registry (under $15 total) and we were just so very, very happy that she had made it to the wedding.  i was touched that she even spent that much on us because I knew that she didn't really have that money to give away.
