How much to give coworker for baby shower?

If you’ve been invited to a coworker’s baby shower, you’re of course wondering – and throwing into Google – “how much to spend on coworker baby shower gift?”. As with all gift giving occasions, first determine what fits into your personal budget; Not everyone will be able to contribute the same amount towards a coworker’s baby shower gift, and you should never feel obligated to spend more than you’re comfortable spending. With that said, a good rule of thumb tends to be to spend $20-$50 for coworkers you’re acquainted with and $30-75 for coworkers with whom you work closely. Just keep in mind that this range varies greatly and can also depend on the industry. Another great strategy for gifting a coworker is to pool your funds with other colleagues and go in on a bigger group gift, like an extra special pregnancy or new mom care package, gift card or baby shower registry item. This works especially well if you’re part of a larger team and prefer to keep individual contributions closer to the $10-15 range.
