Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best baby shower gifts for new parents?

How much should I spend on a baby shower gift?
Gift amounts vary based on your relationship and budget. Generally, $25-75 is appropriate for most guests, while close family and friends might spend $100-200. Group gifts can be higher value.
Should I buy from the baby registry?
Yes! The registry contains items the parents specifically need and want. If you prefer something else, consider adding a gift receipt so they can exchange it for something they need more.
