How much should I spend on a baby shower gift?
Je T’aime asked:
My friend is the first of my age group to be having a baby. How much is appropriate to spend on a gift or a few smaller gifts? I’m just not sure what is typical. Thanks in advance

No specific amount,spend what you can afford and buy what you want.

well there really is no set amount. i guess the more you care about the person, the more you will spend within your budget? i dont know how it works lol. the one baby shower i attended i spent $20. she was a good friend of mine, but i couldnt afford much and she had like 100 people coming….. the girls at my shower seemed to have spent between $20-$60 on me per person.

It really depends. Most of the gifts I’ve given and received have been anywhere from $25 to $75. Spend what you can don’t worry about it if you can’t afford a lot. Every little thing counts, I promise!

well if they dont have a lot of stuff
then get her all you can get
babies need a ton
and any little thing helps out
the more people get at baby showers saves them a ton of money
for the first year
id say anywhere between 25-80 dollars
but make sure oyu odnt spend 30 bucks on a onesie
try to get good deals i know some places that sell 4-6 sleepers for 15 bucks thats good there
also tip
babies grow really fast and odnt stay in neborn clothes for long
most only stay there for a few weeks
so id say if your buying clothing and acessories buy it between 0-3 & months 3-6
