If you are paying for an expensive shower do you have to buy a shower gift?
Yes, it's etiquette. However, a small gift is appropriate considering you went to the expense for the shower. If it's a wedding shower buy a wicker basket and you can put a bottle of wine in it; Brie Cheese; grapes and a few other goodies and then buy cellophane paper (see through) and wrap the basket and put a bow on it. It's not that expensive, but much appreciated. If it's a baby shower then a few little bibs or baby powder; soaps, etc., are cheap and acceptable. A little comb and brush is a good gift. One great idea is a small silver box for the baby's first curl or a silver box for the baby's first tooth and they are not expensive, but a well received gift.
