thoughtful gift or no?
My SIL has had a completely rotten year--she and her husband lost their house because they couldn't make payments, then they got divorced, she's been unemployed, car trouble, she and her daughter may have to move in with a friend to make ends meet, etc. Our gift to her this year is some gift cards for her to buy basics because that's what she needs.
I was also thinking of getting her a pretty horseshoe necklace. She has always been involved with horses and it symbolizes luck and she could sure use some of that. I thought it would be a nice gesture, but DH thought it might be taken wrong. What do you think? We get along well, so there's no backstory or anything that would make her overanalyze my motives (that I know of). Or is it too much, given that she won't be getting us anything? It's less than $40, so not expensive.
Thanks!
