[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster who had the idea. Also just occurred to me to mention, in the future, [b]don't make a gift that requires someone to spend money[/b] (regardless of financial situations of all involved). [/quote]

As a poor person, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I can't tell you how many times I had to decline gifts relatives tried to give me that involved things like, a commute I couldn't afford before they finally got the picture. Ugh, it was awful. [/quote]

Oh gosh even for our WEDDING we got gift certificates to hotels we couldn't ever use because it would have cost so much to get there - and sometimes the gc didn't even cover the whole expense of being there. To this day, I feel awful about those trips we didn't take - but also, we were just broke at the time. Broke broke broke.

Anyway, it sounds like this isn't OP and her friend's situation - but yes, always be mindful if your gift is actually going to end up being a financial burden. If you can!

OP - it sounds like you're handling this perfectly. And what a lovely gift. I hope you and Jane have a great time.[/quote]
