[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked for no gifts and got tons and I GREATLY APPRECIATE the people who didn’t bring!![/quote] +1 Usually the gifts brought to "no gift" parties are random crap because people feel like they can cheap out on the gift ("they said no gifts") while also fulfilling their perceived social obligation. Next time, bring a card, OP, and be proud that you're able to follow instructions. Most of the gifts people have given when I've specified none go into the trash or are donated.[/quote] Also there’s usually a reason for no gifts. In my case my daughter has a huge family party and all of her aunts and cousins want to give her toys. Having that *as well* as a friends party is honestly just too much— too much for me and too much for her![/quote] Donate them! Why don't you ask her family members not to give her anything? [/quote]
