[quote=Anonymous]She's sending a gift because you, OP, upped the ante, from calls and cards to gifts.  So she's trying to not offend you by sending a gift now that you are sending gifts.

And she's got a baby so she's actually really making an effort now because sending a gift is harder than cards/calls.  Because she has to figure out what to get your older kids and that's hard for someone who doesn't have an older kid.

Re:  Amazon--easy to make mistakes, and also, horrible, horrible gift wrapping--so there ya have it.

I think what she did was step up to a higher level, and you are focused on that she didn't do it perfectly.  This is incorrect of you, IMO.

I would have my kid thank her for the gift, but I would email her or call and say, "hey, there's on need to send my kids gifts, they are older, and we've always done cards.  I just sent a gift because you have a BABY!! and it's very exciting and fun to shop for baby gifts.  But the last thing I want to do to a new mom is saddle her with more stuff to do, and my kids are older and don't need more things.  So just relax and don't feel you need to send a gift because I did, ok?  Relax and concentrate on Baby Jane."[/quote]
