Frequently Asked Questions

Cash gifts are most popular for baby showers since parents can buy exactly what they really need. For friends: £20-£30. For close family (aunts/uncles): £50-£80. For grandparents: £70-£100.

Friends typically give £20-£30. Practical gifts are popular: diapers, baby clothes in larger sizes (6-12 months), or store gift cards.

Grandparents often give £70-£100, frequently earmarked for bigger purchases like a stroller or car seat. Aunts and uncles usually give £50-£80.

If you cannot attend, £20-£30 is appropriate. Gifts that ship well work best: gift cards, baby clothes, books, or a personalized keepsake.

With a group gift you can cover a bigger wish with £150-£300. Popular pools: stroller, travel crib, or changing table. Per person, £20-£30 is often enough.

For additional children, £30-£50 is common. Gender-neutral gifts, larger clothing sizes, or practical refills are preferred.

Godparents are usually toward the upper range. About £80-£150 is a common guide depending on region and whether you also bring a keepsake. If the shower is close to the christening, avoid fully doubling both occasions.

A Gentle Reminder

This recommendation is based on current social etiquette guidelines and regional gifting traditions.

Please remember: these numbers are a guide, not a rule. Your presence and the memories you make together are what truly matter. Financial abilities vary for many reasons, and a thoughtful gesture always outweighs a price tag. Choose the amount that aligns with your comfort and celebrate the love.

Note: Because social etiquette is subjective and trends evolve rapidly, these figures are estimates and may not perfectly reflect current norms, specific local traditions, or individual expectations.
