[quote=Anonymous]Are you asking whether an Asian family will be offended if you don't show up with something because of some cultural norm? I am Asian and I will say that I was raised to bring something to people's homes when I visited or went over for dinner. I wouldn't bring something every single time I just hung out at someone else's house casually to play, but if it was my first time at that friend's house or if it was a bigger deal (like a sleepover or something), then yes, I brought something small for that friend's parents, like a food gift or flowers. And it's a practice that I still basically follow today when we go over to someone's place. That being said, in my household, I wouldn't be at all offended if someone came over for a playdate and did NOT bring a gift -- every one is different. If you did bring a gift, then I'd think it's nice, but I wouldn't at all think you were rude for failing to bring a gift. [/quote]
