My coworker loaned me a number of items her granddaughter no longer needed -- bassinet, bath tub, bouncer, jumperoo and 3 jumbo packages of diapers. Some of the items were things she bought for her home (when her daughter and granddaughter came over) and others were her daughter's.
Her daughter is pregnant again, and i'll be giving her things back soon. I would like to give a thank you gift, which i think should be for both my coworker and her daughter.
Any gift ideas? How much would you spend?

That was very nice of her. I would give her a thank you card and include a restaurant GF $20-30. For her new grandbaby a new bassinet sheet or two.

I think @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: has good ideas. That's really nice of you to give them a little something. Even a starbucks or dunkin donuts card would be nice.
I've been wondering the same thing about my friend who loaned me her maternity clothes and is going to loan me some baby stuff. I like the restaurant gc idea.

I think that's very nice and thoughtful of you! I think somewhere around $40-50... Gift cards are always appreciated!

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @Foodnerd81: @MungBean: It was very nice of her! So i'm guessing it won't be weird if i each get them gift certificates?

I just made my neighbor a pie because she brought me her granddaughter's hand me downs. I'm too broke to spend money.... but I think a gift card is nice

How about a gift card to a take out place for her daughter so that once baby arrives, she doesn't have to cook?

My friend who has finished having kids gave me her mat clothes, a BF pillow and a baby swing which is almost brand new. I bought her a 50$ GC to a new restaurant so she and her hubby can go on a date night. It might be nice to do something similar for your co-worker and then she and her daughter can go for a nice lunch together either before or after baby arrives.
