How Much To Spend On A Baby Shower Gift
When it comes to baby shower gifts, you should keep to a budget you’re comfortable with and can afford. However, here are some generally accepted price ranges to keep in mind when shopping. Your relationship with the recipient has a large bearing on gift budget guidelines, so we’ve broken it down for you.
1. Coworker or distant friend – $30-$50
When it comes to a coworker you barely know or that college roommate you haven’t seen since her wedding, don’t feel guilty about spending less than $50 on a gift. $30 to $50 is a good range to keep in mind.
2. Friend or relative – $60-$100
The majority of baby showers you’ll attend are likely for friends and family, and a budget of $60 to $100 is generally considered appropriate.
3. Best friend or close relative – $200 +
When it comes to someone you’ve known your entire life (or it feels as if you have), gifting from $200 lets you pick out something really special. A close relationship warrants more thought and energy into a baby shower gift, to provide them with support and love as they embark on the adventurous journey of parenthood.
4. Group gifts
Big-ticket items like strollers and car seats can be harder for a new parent to afford, so pooling money with friends or relatives is a great way to gift more expensive but essential items. If you’re concerned that you’ll end up footing more than your share of the cost, have everyone contribute what they can and purchase a gift card to a store that sells the item. The card should be signed by everyone involved, so the parents-to-be know who to thank.
