Shower gifts


I am going to my first baby shower - and I have NO clue how much to spend on the gift (I always overspend!)

I know it depends on how close you are too, but I am just looking for the average - I have 6 friends who are expecting right now, and the first shower is at the end of this month...

Re: Shower gifts

If you can afford it and you want to spend about the same on every person so no one gets offended, you could spend about $50 and then buy a little something for the top of the gift - liker a teether or rattle....or a little something for the wishing well.

Same here if not more for the anyone else (again depending on who they are). Like I wouldn't spend over $50 on someone at work (who I only know thru work) but may spend over $50-100 on a wife of one of DH's friends even if I am not friends with the girl.
