| Well it depends on how much you can spend.I usually give a 20-30dll gift. Unless it's a really good friend or relative.I went to my cousin's shower a couple of months ago, we're very close so i spent 50dllsI don't think age matters, btw. |

| I'd say $20-$30 is reasonable. If you have extra money or want to be especially generous, then you could do more. But I think $20-$30 is normal. |

| Whatever is meaningful to you ... like $10 or $20 tops.What is more important is if it is clever and resonates with your friend.So think of something sort of obscure that connects with your friend and is "outside the box" instead of a common gift, and just do it.A few months ago I gave a big box of wipes and a large bottle of champagne (from Sam's) to a couple ... something they could really use and it was a big hit. Not expensive but they appreciated it.The only thing they are thinking of is their future "bundle of joy" anyway, so don't stress out. |

| For an old friend, I usually spend around $40-50. For everyone else, it's typically $25-35. |

| hehe I starred this question because I was pondering the same thing earlier today when I went to buy my cousin a baby shower gift. I spent 44$ on a really soft blanket and a cuddly matching type stuffie that plays music and hangs in the crib. I think it's a reasonable price to pay even though we are not very close...It was so hard though! lol we are both having our shower on the same day together :S and I only wanted to buy something for my babe lol.If I weren't okay with money, I might spend 20-25 dollars on a bunch of small but useful items from dollar type stores.If you are pretty comfortable with money I'd say a good price range is 25-50 dollars.Good luck |
