To think that if my child gets invited to an "expensive" party, I need to buy an expensive gift?

I'm just not sure...DD has been invited to a party where it's going to cost around 40 or 50 quid a head for each child..should I spend more money on a gift for the child?

Or is that totally unecassary? Feel slightly uncomfortable about the party....ok it's not exactly Moet and caviar but it is more costly than most of the parties our kids in DD's class 2 have usually had...the child is new and her parents may be trying to impress I think.

Most of our kids have a do at the local playcentre or a tea party at home...I hope this one won't begin some mad one-upmanship as we (the parents) have been happy with our cheapish party's....

What's the going amount to spend on a present for a classmates Birthday gift? I usually spend around £10.00...is that ok? Or should I spend more? Or is this question crass and should I have DD craft the kid a nice lentil necklace gven with much love? Grin

I really can't imagine spending that much per head on a birthday party. Especially not with whole class coming Shock.

It would probably make me perversely spend less on a present. But I am somewhat perverse.
