Christening Gift -$$$?

What is an appropriate gift for a christening? DH and I have one to go to this weekend, and we are unsure of how much money to give.

Thanks!

It depends how close we are to the family. Our jumping off point is a $200 savings bond - it costs $100.

Most of the gifts we got were savings bonds in the $50 - $100 range.

I would give $100. I don't like giving savings bonds because they are yeilding such a low rate that a CD offers a better rate and is a much shorter period.

I'd probably give a check for $100.

I've also given shares of stock to close family members.
