Someone mentioned above their 7yr old not tolerating anything used. I wonder what they do about it; let this child dictate this? Eye brow raising.


Instead I think you have a wonderful opportunity to teach an excellent lesson to your children about the true value of things not to mention some ettiquette.


A few yrs ago my sib was complaining after putting on this pretty grand sleepover party for her 10yr old that “this one kid was cheap! She gave her a homemade card!”
Omg I was appalled she said that! We do homemade cards as much as possible. They take time & attention & I think their beautiful! Store bought cards r expensive anyway.
