I love baby showers. To me they are a celebration of the mom-to-be and the coming bundle of joy that is soon to join the world. Sure, presents are usually involved. People like to use gifts to welcome and show support for the mom and the baby. But of course they are not required. In my humble opinion the only requirement of a shower (baby or bridal) is to be there and spend time with the soon to be mom/bride to show her support and love.
I also don't come from the school of thought that a hostess is required for a shower or that if there is one that is cannot in any way, shape or form be the guest of honor or a member of her immediate family. To me, it's not about the gifts. I can completely understand how if someone expected gifts it would seem like all they were doing was saying "gimme gimme gimme" but, as I said earlier, to me the purpose of a shower is to show love and support to time guest of honor.
