Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period.
Recent survey findings from RetailMeNot show that this season's wedding guests plan to spend $195 on a sibling's wedding gift, $159 on a best friend, $63 on a coworker and $45 on an acquaintance. Yet other sources say somewhere in the ballpark of $75-100 for a coworker, and $100-125 for a friend is appropriate.
- The general consensus is that you should expect to spend at least $50 on a wedding gift. If you're a student or working with a tight budget, $50 is a perfectly acceptable amount to spend, regardless of how well you know the couple.
