I have an invite to a birthday party this Saturday - not a close friend, more of an acquaintance. She's put on the invitation that presents aren't necessary, but if we do want to get her something then she'd like vouchers from a particular retailer (won't say which in case she's a Mumsnet user!)
I wouldn't dream of turning up without a gift, but would probably have just gone for some nice flowers or a good bottle of wine. I now feel that these wouldn't be acceptable and feel slightly irritated as I'll probably need to end up spending more on vouchers. Am I being over-sensitive or is there something not quite right about trying to control what people other than close family get you for a birthday present?
