Shay (@shay27xo) shared her frustration regarding strict guidelines from a birthday party invitation, which dictated that gifts must be noise-free, colorless, waste-free, and free of plastic. This left Shay feeling overwhelmed about finding a suitable gift on short notice. The idea of waste-free gifts particularly perplexed her, as it implies recycled packaging only, which isn't always easy to locate. Shay's post sparked a discussion about how far birthday gifting has gone, with some suggesting they'd rather skip the party than risk breaking the stringent gift-giving rules.
Having specific rules regarding gifts might seem extreme, especially when it restricts parents to eco-friendly, noise-free, and colorless items—creating undue stress.
Shay humorously expressed her frustration, questioning why colors and noise were banned and whether everyone else felt overwhelmed by such strict gifting expectations.
