[quote=Anonymous]OMG PLEASE NO GIFTS. Of course I will say thank you and act gracious that you bought a piece of plastic junk for my kid that will now become crap in my house that I trip over, hate, and eventually contribute to a landfill. If you MUST bring something, bring a gift certificate for a book or a restaurant or an experience. Or, if the parents are into, wine. Flowers sadly are also a burden. They must be cut and put in a pretty vase during the key moments of a party that I have zero time to do that, half the time they smell terrible, and then they decay and have to be thrown away. But how hard is it to just LISTEN to what people have asked and respect their wishes? Trust me, no one is saying "oh no gifts please" because they think they have to but are secretly hoping that people bring gifts. If people want their kid to have a party with lots of presents, they won't say no gifts. That's ok too! Love, Your resident grump [/quote]
