In times of economic uncertainty and the tightening of the belts, going to a lot of birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers, etc... can really strain the budget. Just to make things simple though- I'll make it clear here, once and for all.
For each occasion (ie, wedding, birthday, Christmas, etc.), even if there are numerous parties, I don't need a present each time. Because if I invite you to more than one party, it's because I like your 'presence' not your 'presents.' Presents are nice, but knowing I have a good friend that I can talk to is even better.
So please, when you feel obligated to, but don't have the money; remember what is really important in life: the friends we make and the times we share.
