Charlotte Mason-Curl started the No Crap Parties movement to help other parents resist the gifting status quo at kids’ parties. But parties wouldn’t be parties without any presents … right? “In the UK we buy around 28.5m new presents every year for kids’ parties aged 11 and under. When surveyed, 43% said that having to buy presents for children’s parties put a strain on their family’s finances. What kids really want is time with their loved ones “I wanted it to be really inclusive,” says Mason-Curl.
