How much to spend on a baby shower gift?




Three of my friends have baby showers this summer and I have never attended one before. I recently got married and all 3 of these friends attended my bridal shower and wedding, and they each spent around 0 on gifts. Should a baby shower gift equal around the amount that they spent on my wedding gift? Or should I be spending more or less?

Not too expensive, but not all frilly……It’s for a baby shower gift.
Anything over 40$ for a blanket would be crazy to me!!!!!!

It’s part of a baby shower gift.
I don’t want to buy anything used, or from ebay, because the baby will put it in their mouth.

I was asked to me a godmother for my best friends soon to be born daughter. I am throwing her a baby shower (with the help of her mom) and I was wondering what an average dollar amount was to be spent on the baby shower gift. I wasn’t sure what is too much and what is too less.
I can afford anything. I really have no limit or budget. Yes she has a registry.

I want to make a diaper cake as a baby shower gift and was wondering how much size 1 or 2 disposal diapers cost? I know they are expensive, I just want about 60 or 70 diapers.

If someone gave you a diaper cake at your baby shower and it had store brand disposable diapers in it would you be offend?

Have you ever received a baby shower gift and sold it? What do you say when when the person who bought it for you asks about how baby likes it? or If it’s a big item IE swings, travel systems,carseats, bassinets and they ask about it while visiting do you tell them you’ve sold the item? Just curious?
I’m asking because I see alot of people advertising for things they received at a baby shower on craigslist and I was more curious if alot of people do this? I never did, but I also didn’t get duplicates or anything like that.

How many baby gifts should you give?




If you already gave the expectant mother a baby shower gift are you expected to bring another gift when you go to see the baby once it is born?
Or is once enough? Just wondering about the proper ettiquette.
