Moral Question about Birthday Presents

[callistra]

For my birthday, we provided a fully catered dinner for 85 people and a good number of alcoholic drinks (an entire crate and a bit of champagne to start with) etc. One of the girls who came along bought us a present, which was very nice.

Now it's her 30th, and there's a surprise dinner at a pub, plus a trip to the casino. We've dodged the Casino bit (we hate the casino) and we have no money. We'll be paying for our own dinners, so I am allowing a certain amount to cover that and a few drinks. It's all very low key.

I got an email from my mum today talking about buying her a present, and us putting some money into it as well. I'm a bit ambivalent about this. So, I'm curious what other people think.
