$50 is certainly a generous amount. My aunt spent around that much for me and I got a diaper bag, a diaper genie, and the changing table pad from her. So see, you can get her lots of stuff or one nice thing and maybe not even spend all of your $50. I know some other moms have recommended going to baby Gap and Children's Place, but if this is your niece's first child, I highly recommend shopping off her registry. Most registry items are less than $50, with the exception of bedding and large furniture items, and you can't go wrong getting her something she, herself, picked out. Oh and if you do shop her registry, print it out and take it to Baby Depot at Burlington, the stuff there is so much cheaper and it's the SAME stuff. I got my same bedding there for $20 less than it cost at Babies R Us.
