I've always been of firm belief that adults don't give other adults birthday presents, except maybe a joke gift. But the guy's wife (my wife's cousin) has made it known gifts are expected. I think its rude, and I refuse to attend unless we don't bring a gift. My wife is mad and wants to buy a real gift and go. What do people think?
Answer
Just buy a gift a go. If not for them, for your wife. If this is effecting your personal life, it's not worth it to keep fighting it. Your wife's happiness is way more important than your rude friend.
But for the record, I totally agree. I think it would be incredibly rude to expect someone to bring presents to a party for an adult.
However, on the other hand, it is a "milestone" party and perhaps they dont usually have birthday parties or require gifts at the party?
Just a thought.

Answer
WOW!!!
What a wonderful daughter you are ... I'm sure your mom and dad are very proud of you!
The latch hook pillow is an excellent, personalized gift -great decision there.
A few no-cost (other than time) ideas for Christmas gifts:
(1) Make a series of cards 3-5 (use the computer for designs) and include a "special" gift -in the form of a note- in each one... for example:
a) Breakfast in bed for your mom on a Saturday or Sunday after the holidays
b) A foot massage after she returns from a particularly long flight.
c) A weekend morning where you and your mom enjoy some breakfast at a local cafe so that you can simply talk with each other.
d) A free car-wash for when the weather gets warmer.
e) Reading one chapter of her favorite book -aloud to her.
f) A clean-one-room-of-the-house coupon that your mom can cash in to you whenever she wants.
g) A pick-out-a-recipe coupon where your mom asks you to cook a favorite meal or bake a favorite dessert.
h) A promise to take a walk around the block with mom ... holding hands.
I believe you get the picture ... have fun doing whatever you decide to do for your mom -you're a special young girl. Enjoy!
