Presents at Daycare

NYMOM101511

Hi fellow moms, Hope everyone is well. I had a question.  Do you normally buy presents for all of the other children at your LO's daycare?  Normally I give the director, and the assistants gift cards, wine and some cookies.  This year,  my LO came home with 3 presents from other moms.  Now I feel like i need to go out and buy all of the children presents. There's about 15 of them!  Just so much to do, so little time.

I think this was asked a few questions down and the general consensus is NO.

No.  I beg you other mothers to do not do this.

I really wish people wouldn't.  My kid came home with a gift bag, but I am not going to participate in this mommy arms race.  He did not need another cheap stuffed animal or more candy.

THIS.
YES!

I seriously blame Pinterest and the moms who do too much.  FFS, simplify already.  No one cares about your adorable little handmade thingy made from Mason jars.

....yeah, I feel better after that rant.

I completely agree with all of you, so maybe i wont do it. One of the presents she got was markers with a fabric coloring book.  The markers were all over her as well as my couch, took me hours to clean!!!

No!  DS's daycare did a Christmas book exchange.  I loved this idea even though he didn't need another book he enjoyed participating.

We do a $3-5 book exchange. That's it. I think it's plenty.
