Perfect
+1. This is how I would respond.

There’s not even a virtual component. It’s not like “be on Zoom at 4 p.m. on Saturday.” It’s just a group gift request.
The "host" is beyond tacky.

I don't see what the big deal is. I would just send $100 and wish them well.

Wrong. OP is right to feel like she’s been brought into a gift grab. Sch a rude gross “invitation”

Hi, trolly!
OP, just because someone asks doesn’t mean you need to say yes. Just decline and say you’re doing your own thing. Or if you were going to spend $25 anyway then throw $25 towards the gift from the group, if you want. But absolutely do not feel pressured to do anything more than what you were already going to do.
NP to OP:
I’m another person who never contributes online or participates virtually. I make my own cards (labor of love) and honestly tell organizers that my gift will be in the mail/on the way/will be sent separately.
You can always send a nice card with handwritten sentiments.
Absolutely this. I prefer to give a gift when I see the baby and it is usually a Carter's outfit on sale. If I don't see the baby, I will send a card.

LOL. That's what the event is - remote and requiring a gift.

Just pretend you didn't get it or forgot about it. I double dog dare them into calling you out on it.
