How much do you spend on a baby shower gift?

I've never been to a baby shower so I don't really know how much to spend. It's for a coworker but I'm friends with her too- she's not just an acquaintance from the office. I was trying to think about how much I've spent on bridal shower gifts but I haven't been to one of those in about 2 years either so I don't remember. Sorry this is a stupid question- I'm totally drawing a blank here. Haha

Re: How much do you spend on a baby shower gift?

  • It really depends on how close I am to the person.  For someone that I am not super close with I guess maybe $30-50.
  • I've only been to one baby shower and I think I spent about $40. We aren't super close but I wanted to get her something nice. I think I got her the play mat she registered for and some binkies.

  • $30-$40 for your case.

    A good friend, $50

    For a sister or BFF, in the hundreds.

    I agree with this too-- depends on what you want to get. Do you want to get a certain thing off her registry or clothes?

  • Oh, and I recommend buying off the registry. I received so much clothing, DS didn't even wear some of it. But I have used everything we registered for.

    yeah, this. 

    I have tupperware storage containers full of clothing DS never got to wear. I couldn't bring myself to pull anything over his little head until he was over 2 months old, so all those shirts went unworn.

    If you cannot resist clothing, but in the 9-18 mo range!

     

  • Thanks ladies. I'm definitely going to buy from her registry- it is hard to resist buying clothing though! haha I think I might get a hat and socks that she registered for and then maybe a couple feeding accessories or something. Thanks for the help!
  • Whatever you can afford.

    We usually do $50-100.

  • I would spend arounf 35-40 dollars. A bunch of small things usually help out. They will always need diapers and baby onesies are great. A neat idea for onesie were these onesie stickers that was a huge hit at a baby shower I was at. They were affordable and I had never heard of them but they are a new thing that new moms get for each new month. she got them from. a site in etsy from the seller onesiestickers
