Do you bring a gift when you visit someone's house for the first time? Would you leave the receipt on top of the gift? My husband's older brother, his wife, and their son visited our house the first time. His wife bought us some pastries as gift, some time before she left our home, she purposely placed the pastry shop receipt on top of the box...was she expecting me to return the pastries, to a shop 3 hours drive away from my house?

Insightful breakdown of Cock rings:
Penis Pumps
Do penis pumps really work?
Sharing your naughty, nude or XXX photos?
My wife and I enjoy me taking naughty, nude and XXX photos of her. We use lingerie, toys, sex furniture, etc, as props, with all the photo sessions..
If you had to go 3 days without either sex or sleep, which would you choose?
I saw a poll recently on the news that women would rather give up facebook than sex. I figured that was an easy one, but what about sleep and sex?...
What is the ring for?
Why do they have a key ring on this dildo?
Surprise for "boyfriend"...
My boyfriend is very open minded and loves to try new things. I am looking to find something he might enjoy but does not yet have and I am pretty...

it depends on who it is on bringing a gift,but I dont include the reciept at all. Maybe the bakery attatched it to the top(around here they do that) and she just didnt realize..or figured to heck with it she can see what i spent!

Leaving the receipt is tacky; it's like you're trying to advertise how much you spent.
07/29/2012
Housewarming gift... of course!
07/29/2012
It would definitely depend on the situation as to whether or not I would bring a gift. I never leave a price tag or receipt. I think it's tacky.
07/29/2012
I normally like to make cookies, Pie or cake as a gift.

I agree, leaving the receipt is in poor taste if you're trying to advertise how much you spent on the item.

Honestly these days when I buy gifts and the item is returnable/exchangeabl e i'll include a gift receipt either in or on the box. Just for the simple fact of duplicate gifts, it breaks within the return time frame etc. But I wouldn't do it on food items or anything like that.

I always bring a gift, a food item or a candle, something like that.
07/29/2012
I usually bring a gift like some sort of food item or a bottle of wine. Nothing that really warrants a receipt to be included.
07/29/2012
She might be crazy. That is rude and weird!!!
07/29/2012
I only bring a gift depending on the circumstances. As for a receipt, no.

Yeap, it was a receipt for a box of scones and a Tiramisu cheesecake, bought at a college town they stopped for the night before reaching our place.

To repay her for spending so lavishly (twenty-something dollars) on us, we took them out for a nice Chinese Dim Sum lunch; and their eight year old brat ate like a madman.

I've been told a thousand time you shouldn't leave the item's price on it, so I guess it goes for receipts too. Maybe in an envelop with written "In case you want to exchange..."
07/29/2012
Wine or dessert, but no price tag/receipt!
07/29/2012
I marked "dont bring gift" but maybe I will now since ppl do that lol
07/29/2012
If we're having dinner, I might bring something along, but if it's just for a visit than I won't.
07/29/2012
Of course. Its the proper thing to do. Where is some type of alcohol plant or food.
07/29/2012
Lol it was silly of her to place the recipe...i would never do that
07/29/2012
Always a gift for the first visit and any time after for meals (usually dessert or small appetizer).
Leaving the receipt?? *facepalm* Klassy with a capital "K".

A hostess gift is always a nice gesture. I try to remember. Usually I do flowers or wine. It sounds like your inlaws may be a little socially awkward. Maybe they just don't know any better? IDK

I've never given a gift to someone when visiting their home for the first time. If it was a housewarming gift, that's different... but not just for visiting.
07/30/2012
I don't tend to bring gifts but when I do give gifts, I give a gift receipt that doesn't have the price on it, Lol.
07/30/2012
i hate the whole receipt thing, but at the same time i don't want something to go to waste unwanted in the back of a closet. so i will slip it in the bottom of the box or bag.
receipt for pastry? that's messed up. that person wanted to make a point of what they spent. which completely undoes any perceived generosity

I do more so if it's someone close to the family. If it's a less formal occasion, it's usually less of a gift and more of a food item that we'll all share, like byob events.
09/23/2012
It depends on the occasion and the person, whether I will bring a gift. If it's something edible like pastries or a bottle of wine, then no receipt. I'd only leave a receipt if it was something returnable they may not like, and even then I wouldn't just leave it sitting on top of the box.
09/23/2012
I don't think I would. I guess it would depend on why I'm going over to the persons house.
