I agree. I hate them too. I remember going to a family member's baby shower not too long ago. I really didn't want to go b/c I really didn't know this particular family member well (she was like Hubby's uncle's second or third wife) and I surely didn't know if she was having a boy or a girl. But Mom In Law asked me to go with her anyway.
Being the manners queen that Hubby calls me, I didn't want to go the shower w/o a gift so I stopped at Wally World and picked up a gift card and put it in a very nice Hallmark card.
So we get to the baby shower and they play the usual games and stuff and of course some of the attendees are more than a little tipsy and then it was time for the gift show. The guest of honor's best friend opens each gift and tells everyone what the gift was and how much it cost and who got it. Everybody was oohing and ahhing and stuff and when she got to my gift, she announces, "Well, here's a gift card from Wal-Mart and it's only $25.00. And it's from 9dstpm and Hubby and family. Ummph!" There was like dead silence in the room. I was so embarrassed and mad that I could scream! I left right after that!
