I would look at it as an act of kindness.....and I think returning the items to repay might make the mom feel awful if she had chipped in to get a little extra. Maybe just talk to her about your expectations for the next time?

I agree. The mom was probably just being nice. I often pay for things when I have another child with me. I'd be hurt if you returned the money to me. If you've already discuss good money management with your child, I'd let the whole thing go at this point.
