Foe that I would give $50 or a $100 bond, which costs $50. I like the bonds because the value will increase over the years.

Get something about $50 worth I'd say.

A little silver cup is always good though will likely cost a fair bit more than $50. If it's a girl a little gold or silver bracelet or cross necklace is always nice. No one ever goes wrong with silver or pewter baby gifts, especially a pewter porringer which you could get for $50. Alternatively you can give a little porcelain bowl and cup set.

Here is what I gave to my dear friend for her son's recent Baptism from Tiffany for $80 - Bunny Bank:


Ross Simon has a great selection of beautiful baby gifts on their website for very affordable prices, and they always have some sort of sale going on.

The lovely Penhaligon's has some nice stuff too (and there is one on Madison on UES in Manhattan also):
