Baby Showers

Shower for baby #4

So, I'll admit I've never posted on this thread before and I'm a little intimidated to post this.  

I have 3 boys and am pregnant with a girl.  My very good girlfriends want to throw me a shower (since I only have boys and don't own anything girl related).  I'm very uncomfortable with this.  I realize that I CAN have a shower since it is a different sex than I have, but it's still my 4th baby!!  I have started organizing a spa day for all of us and I was wondering if I could tactfully say, "why don't we do this and we can all get together, no need for gifts??"  OF COURSE, I would pay for my own spa services.  I just feel odd about having other people buying me gifts.  I haven't had a shower since DS1.  Now, we also were not planning on having more children, this baby is a surprise, so we actually got rid of all of our baby items last fall, but I still don't want my friends to feel obligated to buy me things.

So here is the question, is this shower as super tacky as I think it is??  Can I tactfully decline without hurting feelings?  Can I suggest we just have a girls day with no gifts??

Thanks for your (hopefully kind) responses!!
