i would just call her up and be like "Look do you really think im actually going to send you gifts to your house becuase i can't go? listen up sweetheart- what you are doing is greedy and making you look like a total a-hole. nobody owes you gifts and it is YOUR job to priovide for YOUR child"
i knew someone who was in the same sitch and she had a baby shower also. needless to say i did not attend or send gifts.
She sounds like a rotten person (baby shower or not) and I would definately end that friendship. She give a bad rep to those of us who are having a 2nd baby shower. I am all for 2nd showers, even if it is the same sex and they are close together. I think it is a silly that because it is not your first baby, that he/she can't not be celebrated equally. It is very easy to make no mention of presents.
She sounds poisonous. I would cut all ties with her. And I definitely agree with the pp's about sending her a manners book. Along with a "Good Riddance" card. People like that are absolutely disgusting and should be sent to a deserted island, so they can't make any other people's lives miserable.

Wow...I have no words. Getting a gift is just that, a gift not a requirement. I can't believe she is demanding gifts even from those not attending let alone the assigned gifts. I've heard of showers (both bridal and baby) that are like "time of day" showers with recommendations of a time of day gift. IE: Morning time, Bedtime, Bath time, etc, etc. but I've only seen that for 1st time mommies.
Love the Baby Q idea though, that was kind of how our shower went, we are very laid back and that's our ideal time with our friends. De-friend.
Wow, she has a lot of nerve. Seriously, you should mail her back a list of etiquette rules/ do's and don'ts for baby showers and everybody's response to this question.
