Hi Susan,

I would attend the baby shower at work just because it would be convenient for you to go (assuming the shower will be on premises). But, you are certainly not expected to buy 2 gifts. You already bought 1 and that is enough. And, she should not be expecting you to purchase another gift for her.

If you decide not to go to the shower at work, that is your choice as you are not obligated to go. But if I were in your position, I would attend just to be courteous.
