[quote=Anonymous]My 5 year old has been invited to and "Echoage" birthday party. See link below. There's a request not to bring a gift but to send money online - half of the money will go to a charity and the other half will go to a gift that the birthday child "really wants". I like the charity idea. I guess I could do a gift card also which would be the same as sending money electronically to the birthday child. I don't know, the whole thing seems tacky. Re: the money going toward a gift that child really wants - what happened to "it's the thought that counts?" What about taking the time to reflect on what the child might really like, get my son to think about it and make the effort to get a gift, be thoughtful about another person? Saving the environment and helping charities shouldn't be the only values taught or enforced here. I'm inclined to send a donation to the charity in the child's name (WWF was chosen) and a small gift or a giftcard. Just wondering what other people would do.
