[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is one of those tricky situations where no one is right or wrong. Well, I'd amend that to say your son was wrong to tell you about his wife's reaction of displeasure. But here's the thing -- from your new DIL's perspective it might have seemed like a giftcard for their pet was an impersonal gift from you. From your perspective it seems like you were trying to be thoughtful. I think the real issue is that you guys don't know each other well yet. In time this will change and it will all go more smoothly. I'd send a little something personal to the DIL, not connected to the next holiday but "just because." I'd go with a small piece of jewelry, a scarf or fashion accessory, scented soaps, etc or even a small gift card to Ulta or Sephora. You can send it with a nice note about how much you enjoyed seeing them at the holidays.[/quote]
