[quote=Anonymous]No gifts means they don't want 10 to 20 extra plastic crappy items in their home. You bring a card, and maybe a $10 target gift card or a sticker book or matchbox car or bubble wand if you really can't help yourself. It's almost always related to not wanting/needing extra stuff in their home, so treat it as such. We were team "no gift" until age 5 when my son started noticing and wanting birthday gifts, and got joy out of receiving them, and also wanted to talk about what to get for his friend's birthdays, and enjoyed the giving aspect. And he was old enough to write and sign thank you cards. I can see us being no gift again around age 10 or so when the joy of stuff starts to recede. [/quote]
