Who mandated party favors at kids birthdays?

The love for stuff starts early. My son always collected treasured stones (and the occasional trash trinket) on his walk home from school. He also collected little tchotschkes he received from the dentist office or the arcade or next to the gumball machine. But the most pernicious bits of cheap plastic junk entering our home came in the form of party favors.
