Usually it's Money or a savings bond.

Totally depends on your relationship with the family on how much you give.

Is it from just you or you and your SO?

I just went to one recently for a good friend of mine. I gave what I'd normally give for a christening or baptism.

How much do you give for your cousin's baby's christenings (if you've been)? Same amount. If I were in your situation that you described, which I have been, a close cousin's kid, probably $150.

Between $100 and $150....I went to my best friend's baby naming by myself (DH was away on business) and I gave $100.
