My parents spent equal amounts on our gifts and my in-laws do the same. It would be weird for there to be a big disparity. Both sets of parents spend more on the grandkids then the adults, which is also how it should be.

I spend about 2-300 each for a few gifts on both, maybe a little more on daughter because she has more wants and then give a joint check for 500.
