Shower gifts?

How much do you usually spend on a shower gift? I just got a shower invite and I can't remember what the norm is.

Thank you! I guess if I'm in the $50-$75 range, I'm ok. Much appreciated!

$100, but if the person is a close friend / family member I spend more... I spent $300 for FH's ungrateful sister last August

I always spend over $100 on close friends and family and about $75 on everyone else. Just recently had my shower though, and not many people reciprocated that back....my gift amounts are drastically going down from now on. I've had guests spend $50 or less when I spent over $100 on them.

That would really upset me...I'm sorry that those people weren't as good to you as you were to them
