[quote=Anonymous]We have our kids birthday coming up. They’re under 5. Because of covid etc this is the first party - first time they have preschool buddies etc. We are looking forward to celebrating with other families. But I also do not want more plastic stuff in the house. We’re pretty minimal with toys and I spend a good amount of time sorting little pieces of plastic because I hate when everything is just tossed together in a bin - they get overwhelmed and just dump More stuff. So the thought of more toys that we did not select and more mess gives me the hives. Thoughts on asking ‘no gifts’? Emily Post says it’s tacky because you’re still placing an onus on the gifts. We bring gifts to other parties and it would make me sad if we took that away from child, though I don’t know they’re expecting stuff per se. What do you do? [/quote]
