WWYD? Giving Build A Bear as a gift?

[AnnieW625]

Yesterday DD1 and I bought some Build A Bears to give her two friends (they are having a joint birthday party as they are 3 days apart) as a gift. I let her pick one ofthe $10 bears (http://www.buildabear.com/shopping/productDetail.jsp?productId=prod10400077&selectedParentCategoryId=cat110056&categoryId=cat110061&dressMeMode=true) and then bought the little $5 Happy Birthday tee shirt (http://www.buildabear.com/shopping/productDetail.jsp?productId=prod80181&selectedParentCategoryId=cat110199&categoryId=cat110164&dressMeMode=false). The gift was $15 total. Do I tell the parents how much I paid for the gift because I know BABs can be quite expensive? DD1 said that one of the girls already has a BAB so I have a feeling that the mom would know that the bear we got is not one of the $20 bears, but I don't know about the other girl. I did get gift receipts, but I highly doubt the bears will be returned.

WWYD? I am tempted to tell them so they don't think we spent a fortune on them. The normal gift giving range this year has been between $10 and $20.

No, I would not say anything about how much the bear cost. I personally would feel kind of weird if I was the recipient's mom, and someone was telling me how much their gift cost!

That would make me, as the mom you were telling, very uncomfortable.

It doesn't matter how much you paid.

I wouldn't say anything about the price. If they've been there before, IMO, they will know it's not a $20 bear and $15 outfit... and if they haven't been there before, they likely won't realize how expensive it can be! :)

Thanks! I won't mention it. It is the small town girl in me and I get concerned about stuff like that and I know I really shouldn't, but living in this mega metropolis where there is every thing under the sun (and because it is a mega metropolis things tend to be more $$$) I don't want to come across as giving too much.
