DD was invited to a bday party for one of the kids in her daycare class. How much does one generally spend for someone they're not close to?

No more than $15, maybe $10. That being said, I don't give crappy/junky gifts....I may buy something on sale and just keep it aside for times like this.

I agree with the above poster. I also go and try to find a great sale item that is really worth more than it cost me.

No more than $15, but usually $10. I try to buy things on sale too.

I try to stick to $10-12 for classmates we aren't very close to.

I do $15-20 for classmates and other kids we don't know well enough.

About $15 is reasonable.
