Baby showers at work

Stephanie

Would you guys bring gifts for baby showers at work for people you don’t know and/or don’t really talk too? My immediate coworker told me ‘oh babyshower tomorrow in the basement’...I’m like for who? I don’t know who this person is and I haven’t even see her belly? I have no problem getting gifts and participating for those people I actually know and communicate with on a daily basis. Ugh she just makes me feel obligated since she contributes and knits gifts for everyone having a baby. I don’t want to look bad especially since I’m like next to go out on leave.
