No.

I would be so embarrassed to do something like this. People have no shame.

Little did I know she used her "housewarming" as an excuse to have a Pampered Chef party. Sooooooo tacky. I would not have gone had I known, let alone given her a gift card. We all felt like we had to buy something to keep workplace harmony, but I thought less of her.
what is pampered chef?
