So I received an invitation for a baby shower for someone my SO is closer with than I. Now baby showers are cool, but this couple has a baby already, as the invitation pointed out in "cutesy" poem, ergo they don't need normal baby shower gifts. Instead, the invitation suggest that, while gifts aren't necessary, they could use some consumables. I'm sour about the whole thing. Firstly, I think you get one baby shower, and that's really about you becoming parents (not oh yay baby). Secondly, why should I buy shit that belongs on your grocery list? Diaper cream, really??
My SO thinks I'm overreacting (like I'm looking for reasons to be offended), which to be fair, I may do that often, but come on. I want to be supportive, but I'm not interested in buying things that should be in their monthly budget. Any ideas what I could get them? I'm kind of artsy, but I don't have a lot of time to pour into making something.
