Op got one cheap throw.  I agree that a throw is not a bad gift and you don't have to pay$$$ to get a good one.  However...

Would you feel comfortable giving one of your own DILs a cheap throw, while giving the other DIL boxes of designer clothes and lotions.

I, personally, would feel uncomfortable doing that.  At the same time, Op is not the one who DID this.  So Op does not need to worry about it.  Not even a little.

But it's possible that, like with the baby gifts, she thinks SIL is more pretentious and would care about getting designer lotions. She may consider OP to be "above" that and that she'd be comfortable with a less showy gift. My MIL would not get my SIL designer things, not because she doesn't like her, but because SIL doesn't care about the designer items. But I like them, so she might get them for me with no ill intent towards SIL.[/quote]

That is possible.  But unlikely in this case.  4 or 5 boxes of designer clothes and lotions that the one SIL likes vs. one cheap throw that the Op didn't even ask for.
