I suppose because when its someone I know, I am happy that they are happy. I buy gifts that are educational (books, etc) as opposed to that soooo cuuuuuutsie pie stuff, and just try and not let my personal crusades come out on a happy day. Once the setting is normal again, I go back to dodging the when are you going to spawn questions. I have gone to showers even though I loathe babies.

It was more "adult" in nature, for lack of a better word. The coach's wife did not want a traditional baby shower with all the silly party games and other cringe-inducing antics that take place. Baby showers usually bore me, but that one was enjoyable. The last baby shower I attended was for my boxing coach and his wife. It was more “adult” in nature, for lack of a better word.

Thankfully I've not been in that situation with anyone else yet but I'm going to remember your solution!
