How much do you spend on a Baby Shower gift?
The price of the gift should not matter. You should get something the baby will need. A lot of ppl buy clothes but you could buy diapers & wipes this may sound junk but really comes in handy.
I like to create a gift bag/or basket of items like diapers, wipes, powder, shampoos....
Good Luck
it depends on who it's for ....if it for a close reletive( sister, aunt,ect) then I what spend more. If it for someone else I would spend about $20.00.
It just depends on the person. If I know them well, or its a family members, then I will be committed to spend $100. If its just a friend or coworker, then about $45.
What you can afford, of course!
depends on how well I like/know the person. 20-50 bucks.
I think its in the Quality and not the Quantity that counts. I live near an Outlet Mall so whenever I get an invite to a baby shower, I head straight to the Carter's outlet. I get some complete outfits for around 5 dollars! I usually find beautiful things at a reasonable price so the new mom has several outfits instead of one or buy one outfit plus an item from their registry.
Just like most people, the amount I spends is based in part on how well I know the person. Another factor, especially these days, is how much I can afford. Sometimes I've gone in with another person to get something bigger than either of us could afford on our own.
Usually my gifts average around $25. Being that so many registered gifts are big (car seats, strollers, high chairs, pack n play), I find it more "bang for the buck" if I can chip in with a few others to buy a more expensive gift.
I'm on a tight budget and the the last shower gift I gave was about $10. I simply downloaded my favorite lullabies for my little one and made a CD. I think the mom really appreciated the uniqueness of the gift. The Carter's suggestion is a good one below also - they always have things on sale really cheap. Macy's often has a good clearance kid's clothes rack as well.
Like all says in the comments they are right it depends on person if you are close to then forget about small budget or if you not close more than give them good but look your budget also..
It depends. I make a diaper cake for baby showers. If you google how to make one it will tell you. There aren't alot but usually a hit. I would post a link but I guess rules say I can't. Search

Spend whatever you feel comfortable spending. You are there to celebrate her special day. I normally spend between $30-$50 for friends and $50-$100 for family.
It depends on how close to the person I am, but generally I'd say between $50 -$100.
People have been so generous with me and I know how much parents need things...

It depends on how close the person is to me, but if it's just any person, maybe $20-25, if someone close to me, $30-40, or if a sister, around $50, but it also depends on your money circumstances. If you can't afford much, there are really cute outfits for $10-15. Actually, I just remembered my 10 year old daughter went to a shower for an aide at school, and we just spent $10 on a cute outfit because it was just a shower at school and all the kids brought gifts, but I know she had other showers with her girlfriends.
I get the same gift for every baby shower I'm invited to. The new mom invariably tells me it was her favorite and most useful gift. And it only costs $12. It's a two year subscription to Parents Magazine.
Depends on your budget too. If you look on their wish list and see what they need and fits your budget will be fine. I go to Kohls, Ross, Walmart they have good items for great prices. And if you really like the person you will be able to buy a bit more for less. I've also made some of those Diaper Cakes those depend on what you buy to put on the cake they range from $30 and up. You will never go wrong with diapers and wipes.
It totatally depends on the person/baby for me. For my sis in law I spent around $50. Same for a super close friend. But ususally around $20 w/ or w/o a bag of diapers.
Hello, I actually spend different amounts depending on how close I am to the parents. If it is someone I am only aquainted with, I spend about $20.00. If it is a closer friend or family member (niece, nephew, etc.) I spend about $50.00. If it is one of my kids there is no limit :-)

I range anywhere from $20 to $120 depending on how well I know the person (like $20 bucks for a random coworker at a work shower, and $100+ for a sister or close cousin or something).
Normally around $50.
