[quote=Anonymous]SIL is incredibly nosy about the gifts DH and I give each other for xmas. She wants to know exact brands, models, etc for each gifts ("oh you got a bracelet? Is it gold? where did you buy it? Any diamonds on it? Is it a custom piece? Oh and DH got a widget? What brand? I heard only XYZ brand is worth buying. Did you consider the upgrade?" etc).

It's exhausting and pretty weird. DH and I don't even open our gifts in front of the family - we do it just the two of us at midnight on xmas eve every year - and even so SIL is always awkwardly interrogating us xmas morning during family gift opening. DH and I have tried to demure and avoid the questions (think "oh we are really happy with our gifts this year, anyone want some coffee? DD why don't you show us your gift?") but it's also just plain annoying that she thinks it's appropriate to ask in the first place. Anyone else have someone like this? Any advice on good replies or what to do to make sure it doesn't happen again this year?[/quote]
