WWYD - re: Christmas gift that never showed up?
What would you do?
I was given a gift subscription to a magazine for a Christmas gift from my in laws. I haven't gotten a magazine yet so I called the magazine company to check on what was going on. They don't have record of it under my name OR my in-laws.
So - should I let my ILs know? The only thing I got from them about the subscription was a little rectangular card dealie saying that I was getting a 1 year subscription from the magazine (from the magazine itself - not something they made up) that they filled in.
Or should I just let it go?
Normally I would just let it go because nobody is obligated to give you a gift and it would be rude to ask about it but in this case, I would hate for them to have paid for something and have the magazine goof it up. I don't have any ground to stand on with the magazine company so it isn't like I can fight for it myself - know what I mean?
Re: WWYD - re: Christmas gift that never showed up?
my read shelf:
I ended up emailing them apologizing profusely for walking the "rude" line but letting them know that I hadn't gotten a magazine yet and there wasn't a record of it with the company and letting them do with the information what they will. I felt bad doing it - it just feels so very rude to me to inquire about a gift but in this case, I know that money is tight for them and they sure as heck would want to know if they spent money on something and nothing was going out in return.
I hate it when doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing are so very similar sometimes!
