What do you spend on a friend's child's baptism gift?

And do you always give $$ or do you do a gift? Friend is not my BFF - just a friend. Celebration is at a restaurant. Our entire family is invited. I planned on getting a bunch of PB personalized stuff for baby for future use - matching beach towel, beach bag, etc. but is that weird for a baptism gift?

I gave $50 cash... it's the best gift and probably expected (even though no one admits to expecting anything!) Chat Icon I usually give wrapped presents for birthdays.

I usually give $100 cash, but I think the PB stuff would be a nice gift.

None of my very close friends have kids yet, but when they do I will probably do $150.
