[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we bring a card with a small gift.

IME, a no gift party means that there's also no food and/or no cake.  Although I can understand the selfish impulse behind it, we have lots of toys too, I'm not a fan of them.[/quote]

Nope. We have "no gifts" parties and we provide food, drinks and cake (not to mention, the usually expensive venue).

[b]We just don't want a bunch of crap from Target cluttering up the house[/b].[/quote]

How gracious of you.[/quote]

DP.  It's honest.  Many of us don't want any more toys for our kids.  Sorry if that offends you.

Why the hell are people so bent out of shape about coming to a birthday party and having a good time and not bringing a present?? I would think you'd be happy to have one less thing to do.[/quote]

I think the question should be why the hell are families content with so much privilege and shit in their homes that getting a few birthday gifts is an annoyance rather than a fun exciting time for a child. Your reasoning is so ass backwards.
