Would you buy a gift

[zarapipe]

Dd has a friend who had a bday yesterday. Friend is not having a party. Friends mom asked dd over to play tomorrow. should we bring a gift since I know she just had a bday?

This is the same mom who had a "bday party" for her older daughter at the roller skating rink a few months ago and we had to pay to get in.

So I have no idea what to expect. We brought a gift to the rink bc she said party but in fact it was just 3 other kids who also had to pay to get in. When she asked dd over to pLay she said "since sam is turning 5 on friday I thought she would like to have dd1 over to play sometime this weekend."

Yeah I'd do something small. Like a card with however many dollars the girl is old, or a token gift in the $10-15 range. It seems like it's a birthday play date.

I wouldn't. It just doesn't scream gift giving occasion.

Not required but I think it would be nice to bring her a gift. Regardless of the roller skating thing.

I think something small would be great.

I'd bring a small gift. Don't punish the kid for the parent's lack of manners regarding the skating thing.

I probably would buy something small ($10) since the mother mentioned it was her birthday.

I'd do something maybe like a craft kit that the girls could do together.

I like this idea!

I'd do the craft kit or the dollars/age.

I would do a small gift, like no more than $10.
