WWYD- gift giving dilemma

Read2MeRead2Me
in Toddlers: 24 Months+
There is a couple that we spend time with occasionally who have a little boy who was born 3 days before Eva.  We see them maybe 6 times a year.  This year the mom decided to get Eva (and another little boy we also hang out with) a subscription to High Five magazine.  We normally don't exchange gifts with them and even if we did, I don't think I could do something that pricey.  We got together last night for a play date and so as a thank you, I had Eva draw a picture for the little guy and I made a crayon roll for him.  When we arrived, she had a birthday present waiting for Eva- a cute purse and an outfit from the Gap.  I didn't get her little guy anything for his birthday.  I felt so bad.  Should I go and get him a birthday present now too?  Or should I just send a thank you and hopefully it will break the cycle of getting gifts for each other's kids?

    That would make me very uncomfortable. Is this the first time she has bought gifts? If so, I would just send a thank you card for now.

    That would make me uncomfortable too!  Maybe she wanted to buy your cute lil girl a cute present!  I love buying girl stuff since i have a boy haha.  But, seriously, I would just send a thank you card,

    Hmmm...I prob would have told him that She drew him a pic for his bday and then gave him the crayon roll up as a christmas gift.  You know? Since you had 2 things, just kinda split them up on the spot!!

    OR you could just buy him a bday card and have her make him something and mail it?!  OR just a thank you card and help her "write" in it...?
