[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP-update here. Apparently, DS and DIL went shopping over the weekend and the petstore I got her the card to was in the area. They went in and shopped, and she found something she loves for the pet (is it her hobby? I dont know, but she has a facebook page just for the pet...), so in the end, she is happy with her gift.

I'm SO glad! I didn't ask about whose idea it was to say something to me in the first place, I'm just so glad that she's happy with the gift, which was given with all good intent. Yea![/quote]

No, I think your DIL is being gracious and relayed the 411 that she "likes" the gift.  Are you clairvoyant?  No--some little birdie told you that your DIL likes the gift after all.  If so, she sounds fairly easygoing.  Good for the two of you--if you give crappy gifts, then you are going to need a DIL like that.

This is the PP.  I don't mean to sound unduly pissy.  You may very well have given the gift with no ill-intent whatsoever, subconcious or otherwise.  But DIL initially didn't like the gift, and she's not off the wall for thinking it either.  Some people miss more often than not with gift giving.  Maybe you will get better once you know her better.[/quote]
