Dd has a good friend and she is at a birthday sleepover but left gift behind.
I have just noticed that she gas added an expensive item we allowed her to buy.would you intervene abd st

Were the gifts wrapped? If so, how did you identify that the extra parcel was the thing you'd bought for DD?

It was with the othes and the gift was not shut properly.
I think I am going to leave the choice with dd but I am disappointed.

In a gift bag. I only picked it up to put it by the door so I didn't forget it and noticed he extra package.

“Oh silly DD, your thingymabob that I got you must have fallen into the bag”.

I would take it out of the gift bag and just take the gift when you go and pick her up. When you get home I would just pretend that you thought she had accidentally but her new toy/accessory etc in the gift bag. I would say how sad I would be if it had accidentally been given to her friend as I was looking forward to seeing her use/wear it and I knew how much dd wanted.

She probably won't say anything to you but if she did indicate it was intentional then I would say how disappointed I was that she had lied to me to get my to buy something much more expensive that I had intended to buy for a friend.

Is it possible that she only intended to take this thing to the party to show it to her friends, and put it in the gift bag so it was easier carried? That might also be why they bag wasn't closed properly.

Since she's now lying, or feigning confusion, i would remove the gift and just drop the others around.

Perhaps she 'forgot' the gift on purpose?

Bloody hell £30!! My dd's have a friend's gift limit of £3!!
Your dd needs a chat. Expensive gifts to seek approval I guess. Remind her she is lovely and her friend is lucky to have her.
