By “all out,” we’re talking monogrammed notebooks, pens, some nail polish, and a to-go slice of cake. The mom said each bag cost about £12.50 (about $17). She didn’t include any precious diamonds, designer puppies, or fat wads of cash, but sometime after her daughter’s party, one of the girls’ moms made her return her goody bag because they were “too generous” and she “couldn’t accept it.” According to the poster, her daughter’s friend “told her that her mum says I try too hard.” Understandably the mom says she was “mortified but also livid … I definitely don’t want to impress her or anyone else.” She asked the other moms on the Mumsnet forum if she was being unreasonable with her goody bags or if the other mom was way out of line for her actions.
