[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You got a gift for the dog, not your DIL . Your son shouldn't have told you but you picked a terrible gift. [/quote]

Agreed.

But your DS is a toad for saying something.  He needs to learn the art of keeping his trap shut if he wants to avoid drama in married life!![/quote]

This. The gift was for the dog, not your DIL. That would be like getting baby clothes as a birthday gift for yourself. But your DIL shouldn't have complained about it, and your son definitely shouldn't have passed it along. Don't worry about it anymore, and from now on get her things for herself.[/quote]

Op here-I guess I am a different person, because I would actually love baby clothes as a gift. But I don't like things like jewerly or scarves, so I'm not easy to buy for I guess lol  :-)  I had figured she could get some nice fancy pet stuff-I don't have pets but have noticed that there are whole stores with pet supplies and accessories. With ds it was easy to say 'your jeans were looking tired last time i saw you, so here's a gift card to get yourself some new ones'. But I would have felt weird making comment on her clothes. Next time I will get them cards to the same place or something.[/quote]

Your heart was in the right place. That will shine through!  In your case, this was a very thoughtful gift don't over think this!  I like the idea of giving them identical gift cards to a place that they would both enjoy :).[/quote]
