[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here thank you, my husband despite not liking it and feeling she did this more out of spite then wanting to get her a great gift feels its best to let it go.

There have many other 'digs" in the past and what started on my part as a type of admiration for her style/finesse has grown into a deep dislike for her blatant disregard for my feelings knowing very very well my stand on these things. It wasn't like an LV wallet but a full on bag.  I did send my brother an email this morning he is ridiculously busy so  know it might take him some time to get to it but I know he will see my side of things.

She has made fun of my Marshalls and TJ Maxx purchases many times in front of other family members including her stepdaughters. I come from the background where you respect a parents wishes/boundaries and would never dream of overstepping them by getting something so elaborate if I  knew the parents would not approve.[/quote]

OP, you say she lives on the West Coast and they've only been married for two years.  I could be wrong, but I don't think she's necessarily doing it to be spiteful or showing a "blatant disregard" for your feelings.    How does she "know very very well"  your opinion on these things with all the distance?  If this is her lifestyle, and the things she thinks about every day, it's likely not registering with her that you insist things be scaled down a bit.  I think you are putting WAY more thought into this than she is.  I get that it's annoying, but honestly I'd just let her be her tacky self.  [/quote]
