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?

That's me too. I didn't ever think of it as something wrong. I thought of it as buying the child a gift. I usually buy children that go places with me a gift simply because I see them so rarely.
I had not thought about it in the way Devinmom put it.
