Do you still have the toaster and does it still work? If yes, then they did pretty well.
I have no idea what the cost will be per head. I just know how much money I've already spent and frankly, don't want to have to buy another gift. Our rule is more along the lines of how well we know you depends on how much we spend. If (in this case) we work together, then the gift will be in th $50 - 100 range depending on how much we like you. (We actually spent more money than planned) Friends, depending on how close we are, will probably be greater than $150, unless there is something on your registry less than $100 that speaks a "priceless" amount. Family is weird because we have family members that assume too much information in how much income we have. Like my cousin's wedding in February that I didn't attend because I could spend more money on a gift if I didn't buy a plane ticket. Apparently I'm on the sh*t list because I didn't spend enough money. I guess the $150 worth of glassware didn't make up for not being there.
Obviously, I'm over the wedding thing. Although, given the amount of money that I've shelled out for wedding gifts and being a frickin' bridesmaid I think I should have a wedding just to recoup.
