Was the hobbit tradition not only so at birthdays?
Because I think it was a more general thing back around the year 1000. It did not have to be a birthday party or even a party, it would always be the host that treated the guests. In sertain cases the guest might bring something as well I supposse.
Anyways, the quote made me think of Morwen. . . she seems to share this view. When Thingol sents messengers to her with gifts, she feels obliged to give them gifts as well.
I cannot remember if the gifts was for Thingol or the messengers. . . .that could be important.
