kids birthday party gifts

do you always buy from a brick and mortar store so you can give a gift receipt for exchanges or returns?

we have 4-5 parties in march alone and i thought to order some items off amazon and avoid the stores, but then i realized that some parents might love returning....do you ever consider that when purchasing a party gift?

  • Yes, I never order online for kids parties. When the whole class is invited I'm sure duplicates happen and I know I returned several dolls Teagan got last year b/c even though they were all different she isn't into dolls.

  • I'm not sure we got any gift receipts from G's party last year.

    I buy when it's most convenient for me. That is often online.

  • They can return on Amazon without you even knowing. So you can make them a "gift receipt" -- i.e. a note saying it was purchased from Amazon and the order number. BUT i think they see your entire order if they return it that way.

    ETA: We got gift receipts for < half the gifts. Of course we didn't get them on the things we already had. Doh.

  • I tend to do stores because I always like to get gift receipts.  I did figure out that you can do it for amazon though so if I know it is someone who would do that then I get it from amazon with the info so they can return it.  I usually make sure that at least one of the things had a gift receipt if it is a few little things.
