Since the lockdown is lifted, we're being bombarded with dinner party invitations at friends' houses (a common group). Every weekend we have to attend at least one, sometimes more. There are birthdays/anniversaries/new babies/celebrating a new car/promotion in job etc, and sometimes they'd invite people for no particular reason. I try to buy something under 20£ for each occasion, and at the end of the last month we have spent an extra 128£, JUST ON GIFTS! Last Sunday I went to one empty handed, and got super weird looks. Can't make jam-jelly-candle or anything home made to gift. Is there any other way apart from not attending these parties?
