Amount to Spend on a First Bday Gift?

I have only bought 1st bday gifts for close family members in the past and we have two 1st bday parties this month both for our friend's babys.. one we cant make it to and one we will attend.. just wondering what the sort of average is to spend on a first bday gift for a friends kid?

Thanks!

For kids of friends we usually do about $25-$30. We do more for family members.

I agree with spending 25-30 on a first birthday present.

Re: Amount to Spend on a First Bday Gift?

I think it varies greatly on how well you know the family.

For good friends and family, I spend $100-300.
For family friends, I spend $50-$100.
For new friends and acquaintances, I spend $20-50.

I know it is not always popular on here but I tend to give differently depending on the venue.
