Good questions

Frequently asked

How much should you spend on a baby shower gift?

It depends on your budget and your relationship to the parents-to-be. Many guests spend a moderate amount on a registry item, while close family and friends often give more or go in on a group gift. A thoughtful, useful gift beats a pricey one.

What is a good baby shower gift?

Start with the registry. Beyond that, practical lifesavers for the first months, a beautiful keepsake, or something just for the new parents (yes, them!) are always appreciated. See our baby shower and new parent picks.

What should I gift new parents?

Help and comfort go a long way: meal deliveries, a cozy treat for the parent, practical baby gear they'll actually use, or an offer of your time. New parents remember who showed up.

What should I write in a book for a baby shower gift?

A short personal note to the baby, maybe a wish for their future or why you love this book, plus the date. It turns a book into a keepsake.
