We have lots of school parties where every child is invited, which means that you can end up with 25 gifts that are not needed. I've always thought it would be a great idea for every family to contribute $5 in a gifting envelope and then the birthday child can buy a more significant present that they truly want. The idea of delayed gratification may not work for little kids, but I think those 6+ would appreciate it.

It would also be less of a financial and time burden (hunting for presents the day before the party!) for parents.

I just haven't worked out how to suggest it to the other mothers!
