How much money should I give for a baby shower?

My friend is having a baby shower for her teenage daughter and I'm invited. I consider the mother to be a close friend, so I don't want to seem to cheap.I don't really talk to the daughter. The daughter asked for gift cards because she's moving and it's easier for her to just buy what she needs once she's settled in. She's also asking everyone to buy a bag of diapers and a pack of wipes as part of a raffle. My husband said just give her $30 or $40 but does that seem to cheap? I'd like to give more but with Christmas and Birthdays I don't have a lot of extra money this month. I doubt I'll buy diapers and wipes. I don't really want to be in the raffle, I'd rather spend the money on a gift card. What would you suggest.

    $30-40 isn't cheap, that's normally what I'd spend on a shower gift. Sometimes I'll spend $50. If you can only give a $30 gift card you should bring diapers on top of that though. That's only another $10.
