[quote=Anonymous]If the invitation says no gifts, I do not bring a gift unless I am related to the child or his godparent or it's like our very best friends or whatever -- a situation where not giving the kid a gift just feels wrong. And in that case, I am extremely discreet about the gift when I arrive and try to tuck it in a bedroom or hand it off in a way that does not bring attention to it. I will sometimes put it in a plain brown paper bag and hand it to the parents and say "Oh I had something at home that belongs to Larla, I wanted to make sure she gets it" or something. People get it. But if it's just a school friend of my child and they so no gifts, I don't bring a gift because I don't want to be that person who is always pushing on stuff like this. Just do what is asked. [/quote]
