You can either approach it this way, it you can just be upfront about why you don't want toys, etc. from home (sharing, safety, etc.).
It used to really drive me crazy because I thought the parents were intentionally distemper pectins me but I honestly think that some just don't see te whole picture from our perspective.

Definitely agree with you. I think the parents assume that you will just give in "this one time" because their kids are making a fuss about it. I don't want the hassle of the kids not wanting to share, fighting over the toy, or having to find it at the end of the day because the kid/parents are making a fuss.
