It depends on age and occasion: for baptism something gentle like a comfort blanket or book, for birthdays something by interest, for Christmas games or books. A quick word with the parents avoids duplicates.
This is very individual. What matters more than the amount is that the gift suits the age and interests. A well-chosen item means more than an expensive one that doesn't fit.
It becomes personal through the connection to the child: a gift matching their favourite theme, a book with a dedication, or something you can use together. That keeps the godparent bond tangible.
