Op here.

I thought it meant a gift exchange and didn't want to do the wrong thing. Again, I'm not from this country so I don't understand every tradition.

My husband thinks its maybe for the kids? Like the kids will get like goody bag or something?

We are not from this country, so that's another reason why I'm asking.


I think your realtor wants you to bring music or food or perform a dance or gifts. Just choose one or two.

Out of context your post made it sound like the Realtor was a real asshole OP. But in context, exactly what PP said - She's giving out gifts. Not you have to bring one.

Bring some nice gifts for your realtor. They always appreciate some empty placards or card-printing vouchers - tape measures also go down well.

For the dancing, make sure you have a few signature moves down. You might want to watch a couple of classic 80s videos for inspirations - I would suggest "Thriller" or "Uptown Girl".

Please report back.

Yeah, seriously. This means the realtor is giving out goodie bags TO YOU. Do you think you're also supposed to bring the music?

Realtors usually throw really nice parties for their clients. I'm sure she'll be the one giving you gifts so I wouldn't feel obligated to bring anything...unless you wanted to bring her a typical hostess gift, like flowers or a bottle of wine.

Sure. That's a fine gesture.

Sounds nice. Enjoy.

I wouldn't take it as given that kids are invited.

Like bouquet of flowers or potted orchid/poinsettia?

That is so very weird. It just said "gifts"?

My realtor invited us to her Christmas party. The invitations said "gifts", so should I take it to mean that she expects some? What should I do/bring? She's really nice and helped us get our great house, so I wouldn't want to insult her in any way. Plus I would feel weird showing up empty handed, but I don't know what she likes at all! Thoughts?
