   What Should I Do About This?
   I was invited to a housewarming party. I understand that when you get a new home you want to show it off, but in the invitation it says
   “(person’s name for whom party is for) has the basics. She could use some colorful homey touches.
   IDEAS:
   pot holders
   spice rack
   slip covers
   gift cards
   Also bring recipes for….”

   Also the thing is the party is not even at the place the person moved to. It is at someone Else’s house. Another reason that i don’t want to go is because the party this is for is a person with which i am having a hard time to be with. She is older than me, and she has done things to me that are immature and childish. I wish she wold stop, but that is for a different time. Is this party kind self-centered for the person who it is for? Should I even go? Isn’t getting things for a home kinda like a thing you do when your getting married, like a bridal shower or something? So some advice would be really helpful, and if you need more info let me know.

   If it were me I would find a reason not to go to the party. If you and the person for whom the party is thrown find that you are getting along in the future, then make sure you stop by her new home, tell her how nice it is, and if you would like you can take a gift.

   In all the times I have moved, and all the housewarming parties I have thrown I have never asked for or expected gifts. I just want to show off my new place! (that’s not to say I have never gotten gifts, but they were always from close friends who saw something I was missing and brought it later.)

   This does seem like an attempt to sucker gifts or guilt from friends. I’d be wary.
