Birthday playdate
Now that Cameron has started school, we have received an invitation for a "birthday play date" for one of his classmates. The mother hosting said she thought it would be a fun way for the kids to play and for the moms to get to know each other since it's the beginning of the year.
The invitation says "No need for gifts. Your presence is present enough!". That said, would you still bring a little something for the birthday girl (my inclination), and if so, what? She will be turning 2.
Thanks!

I agree with pp - it is nice for the child to get a little "something" and the mom is probably trying to avoid a million toys and setting a precedent of huge birthday parties too soon.
But who doesn't like a simple book or coloring book whether there were no gifts requested or not?

This discussion just played out on my moms' group forum. Many people said
*when it's a no gift party, they really do not want anything
*if they are a guest and follow the no gift rule, then others bring gifts, they end up feeling awkward
I would get a small book and keep it in my bag. If others give, I would give it. If they don't, I would probably wait until the end of the party and give it as we leave.
This except if no one else gave I wouldn't sneak it to her as I leave, I think it would still be awkward to be the only one giving.
