<p>Most people give money? Really? If so a student who’s already bought something for a shower should be fine with $25 to $50. You could also see if there is something in that price range left on their registry. I agree that going in with a group for something bigger might be the best solution of all. And for what it’s worth we got a number of vases, all of which I use and all of which I remember who gave them to me and none of which were on our registry.</p>
