[quote=Anonymous]Generally, I hate going to these events too particularly for crap I don't need aka overpriced jewelry.  Why do I attend then?   Sometimes, the friends are struggling financially.  One had a job loss and is a relative, another is near bankruptcy.  I go because I want to give them moral support and these parties are so public that if they don't have enough people show it would be embarassing for them.  I feel these direct to home companies prey on vulnerable people. Sometimes people host these parties because they think it will increase their popularity within their friend group (ie the rep) and I generally decline them. I'll go if you are an otherwise close friend particularly one with a sad backstory and buy the cheapest thing offered.  I'd rather just give my friend 20 dollars instead of buying something for 35 that my friend may get 5 to 7 dollars on and get something I don't need.  However, I don't want my friend to feel bad and I know they would if I say I don't like costume jewelry, candles or flowery purses but I know you are doing poorly financially so here is 20 dollars.  Folks whether you realize it or not when you host a party many people are buying things out of sympathy or feeling obligated from a social standpoint.[/quote]
