Bridal Shower Gift - WWYD
FSIL's shower is this weekend and I already spent $60 on a gift from their registry. For my bridal shower, she spent around $100 and I'm always the type to spend on others what they spent on me but H says that what I got was enough since we're already spending quite a bit traveling to Nicaragua for their wedding. Friends have also told me the same thing but I don't want to come off looking cheap and part of me feels like she's family so I should get a little something else too.
Thoughts?
Re: Bridal Shower Gift - WWYD
I think you are fine with what you got, especially given that you guys are gonna be paying so much to go to the wedding. At the same time, I'm sure there is always something she's gonna need, so if your in doubt, throw in something else or add a CG.
I dont know what you're talking about B, it should just be a picture of me with a note saying how lucky she is that she gets me as a sister
So you're wanting to spend an extra $40? Part of me says that it's only $40 so go for it. The other part says you're traveling for the wedding and it's plenty.
Maybe just go with Brandy's crotchless panty idea.
Yeah see thats my dilemma!
Do you have a gift in mind that costs $40? Or would it be a pain to find something?
If you feel really strongly about giving a gift that is worth the same amount as the one she got you and you are not strapped for cash, then go for it.?
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA so true! Make a "I have the worlds best SIL" picture button
I'm too lazy to go back to the mall and get something before Sat so I was thinking a spa gift card or something.
Then I say forget it. No need to spend the extra money if it's not something really heartfelt. Ya know what I mean?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

I think that what you've gotten her is fine, but I do like Brandy's and your idea of the frame...maybe put a picture of yourself with a note that says "Glad you get to know me" ?
Ditto. Normally I have the same mind set as you- spend on them what they spent on me. In this case though, you'll end up spending more after you pay for your travels accommodations to Nicaragua.
Oh, geez! Sorry about the last 2 posts!!! I am having internet problems again! Argghhh!!!
Anyway, I like Brandy's idea.
