Do you gift if you're in the wedding party?

I'm a bridesmaid for the first time in a few weeks and I don't really know what's expected. I've already shelled out about $300 for dress/shoes, plus a gift for the shower, a gift for the b-party weekend, and some shared costs of throwing the shower and b-party. TBH, I'm a little gifted out for this...

I'm a bridesmaid for the first time in a few weeks and I don't really know what's expected. I've already shelled out about $300 for dress/shoes, plus a gift for the shower, a gift for the b-party weekend, and some shared costs of throwing the shower and b-party. TBH, I'm a little gifted out for this person (she hasn't exactly been a breeze to deal with throughout the planning process), but I don't want to ruffle any feathers either since she'll be in my wedding in 3 months.

What do you guys typically do in this situation? If I'm being totally honest, I would prefer my BMs NOT get me a wedding gift. I feel like everything else they've done for me by that point and standing up with me is gift enough. Maybe I'm alone on that? No idea...

    My fiancé was a groomsmen last year and we gifted the bride and groom several things from their registry.

    I gifted with my FH. But most of the bridesmaids teamed up and did one gift - a good compromise.
