For the first baby we do group gifts. I also buy my sisters gifts in a group.

If I buy a baby gift, it's for my niece/nephew. Or if we're saying that a gift is technically for the parents, then it's from me and DH either for my brother and his wife or for DH's sister and her DH. Either way, it's for one of our siblings and their spouse/child.
I find this idea that it's only for the mother to be strange. Unless you specifically mean buying her a massage or a spa treatment, or something for her. And in that case, no. We don't specifically do that although I guess it would be nice. |
Are you handing the baby the gift and expecting them to open it and say thank you? It’s a gift for the baby, that is given to its parents. We all understood OP

I was really shocked by that reaction because I just thought it's a given that you would get your sister-in-laws baby gifts.
But a lot of people told me that no, it's not a given. Am I crazy for thinking that that's sad?
For more reference - I haven't had kids yet and my husband has many siblings but I still feel responsible to buy even just a small cheap gift. I'm not talking anything fancy. $10-$30 |
Of course
And I buy for my friends.
For my sils I gift larger sums of money too especially if there was a bris

DH is one of 10 so I only get for the first for everyone and for SIL’s that I’m closer to, I’ll buy for other babies as well. On my side, we’re a small family so I give for every birth

Yes we give to siblings, nieces/nephews, cousins… the closer I am to the person the more I would spend but usually buy a nice gift even if not so close. Bh we can afford it.

Yes. My siblings we give nicely, like $30-40 for the first child, and a bit less for the next, as a group gift.
One of my SIL kind of said that she wants us to stop, which I thought was unfair. You got for your 4 kids, why shouldn't my sister get for her second?
My IL family is way pettier, they have us all chip in for a $50 gift. They ask us to pay for something they got as a gift and are regifting. The good part is that they forget to collect, no matter how many times I ask what my share was.
I sometimes gift them alone as I can't stand it.

Does your dh not care to give his siblings? Or do you have separate budgets?
I wonder how it works

He doesn’t care what happens. He’s not involved in gift giving. He just goes along with what I do. So in dh family they chip in for the first kid and zehu. If I would give each neice and nephew my sils would not appreciate it as they may feel pressure to reciprocate. On my side we celebrate each birth by giving a gift so we chip in every single time.
