Birthday Gift Question

If you are invited to a kid's birthday party, do you still buy and send a gift, even if you don't attend the party?

    Pretty much.
    FWIW, the only bday presents the girls have gotten were from people who actually came to their party.

  • I don't think I've ever been in that situation. It would depend on the child.

    For DS's birthday, there were a couple of people who would have come to the party that were out of town, and they gave a gift. We were pretty close, though.

  • Depends how on the ball I am.  This has only happened on a couple of occasions, the first was SO's cousins kid, so I think I did pick something up because we were out of town.  The second was a friend of DD's from playgroup.  I had every intention of getting something and dropping it off, but it didn't happen.

  • Nope, I don't mail things unless I have to.  If I want to get them a gift I will give it to them next time we see them.

  • LOL I didn't even realize I had posted this...I typed the question and then DD was trying to grab the laptop when I was putting it away, I guess it got posted in the scuffle!

    Anyway, I generally do not, except for a select handful of people with whom I'm very close with them and their kids.  These are mostly friends, less family members.  

    The only people I could ever see giving DD a gift after not attending her party are our parents, and maybe my siblings.  Which is unlikely, because they'd be at the party, barring unforeseen circumstances.
