Don't fret
by: Anonymous

We have been to many birthday parties the have expressly stated "no gifts please" and I have always honored that wish. But poeple give because they want to. I never feel bad or thoghtless if I see gifts and didn't bring one. Accept them graciously, leave them out for all to see, and open when you wish. Even if I didn't bring a gift, I still like to see them opened. And don;t forget to send thnak you's afterwards. I am one of those people that still likes to have my gift (when I bring one) acknowledged. But I don't stand on the formality of having to receive it in the mail. It can be hand delivered if it is someone I see frequently.

Just put them away or hide it
by: Kate

Put the gifts you bring in a private room at the back. Do not display the gifts out for the non gifts bringers to see.
