[quote=Anonymous]This has happened to us only once, and I had the gift but didn't give it. It was literally the last minute, DS developed strep throat and couldn't go. This is a family we never saw outside of school (and at school saw only the kid and nanny, never parents). I held onto it for weeks thinking I'd see the mom at some point, and never did, so didn't give it. Like PPs mentioned I didn't want to bring it to school because I didn't want to underscore the fact that not everyone might have been invited and/or wasn't sure what the school policy might be about a child opening a gift at school (there is a no-toys-from-home policy and I didn't know how the teacher would view it). FWIW we have also had a couple of very last-minute cancellations (i.e. said they were coming and then emailed or texted after the fact to say they couldn't) and I would have been shocked if we received a gift in those situations.[/quote]
