No Birthday Presents at Parties?

Moms argue over "no gifts" rule for kids.

The story Happy No Gift Day to You discussed banning presents at parties, and Moms came back with differing responses. One said: "I still think children like to give and receive gifts on birthdays. My kids have been to "grab only" parties where each guest is asked to bring a small ($5-10) grab in lieu of a gift. Each child experiences both giving and receiving and leaves happy."

Laura disagreed: "I love the no-gift idea—keeps you from getting stuff you don't want your kid to have, plus saves you the $$ you would spend on gifts for other children as well. Imagine the nice big donation you could make to a charity if you skipped gifts for all of those birthday parties your kids go to!"

Would you consider disallowing gifts at your child's next birthday party? Tell us in the Mom•Logic Community.
