Gift ideas for you
How much to spend on baby shower gift?
I’m going to my first baby shower that I was specifically invited to (not going with parents or some such). It’s for a very nice coworker who I’ve worked with for about a year. She’s the nicest person you’ve ever met and we always got along. We have never done anything outside of work though and I doubt that we ever will unless we are with other coworkers.
I’m just wondering how much I should spend on a baby gift or how many things I should get her? Money is not a big problem. I’m wondering if getting a baby gift set for about $100 is a little much for a present from a coworker. Would one or two of something smaller be a better idea? I don’t want to go overboard or look cheap.
Thanks in advance!

a 20 to 30 dollars gift total amount would be fine. and i will give you a few tips, buy her diapers, size neworn, about one pack, another one size one, and you can buy her some Kimonos, size 0 to 3 months, also a baby wash and shampoo would make a great gift, you can put all of that stuff in a basket and make it look pretty. remember, she will need lots of diapers. you can also buy her a set of clothes size 3 to six months, she will need them because babies grow so fast, and also you can get her some small cute socks or shoes. hope this helps.

Well, what you could do is purchase a diaper bag and some baby necessities that you know she’s gonna need, and some things that may be helpful to her and the baby. You could get an inexpensive diaper bag and put like a small package of diapers, baby wipes, diaper rash ointment, a cute baby outfit and some toys and teething toys. You know, stuff like that. I wouldn’t spend $100 on someone who’s potentially only ever going to be my coworker though. Good luck!

I would look to see what she has on her baby registry and buy something that is middle priced. If she doesn’t have a baby registry than I would spend between 30 to 50 and provide a gift receipt just in case she gets duplicates.

Realistically, I think 100 dollars is a bit much. It’s sounds bad, but most very expensive boutique layettes don’t really look like they should be costing that much, in fact some more expensive baby items look downright cheap!
I’d opt for something a bit smaller and low-key.
