etiquette ?
I made a nice homemade cloth diaper gift pack for a newborn for my cousin's wife (she does cloth with the older ones, but didn't have the $$ to spend on newborn stuff, so I made her a nice gift pack-i'm blogging about it on Thursday if you're interested in making one too). I didn't buy INS or get delivery confirmation, as I figured she'd tell me when it arrived. Well, she hasn't and it should have gotten there a week ago. How long should I wait to ask her if it arrived?
I had a similar scenario last year with two gifts. I sent a housewarming gift and waited a 2 months to hear if it arrived before I asked. It never arrived (I contacted the company and they resent it). I also sent a wedding gift, waited a month and a half to ask the recipient if it and it had arrived (since my last gift had not) and it had. I guess if I just got delivery confirmation, it would be a lot easier knowing if it arrived.

Re: etiquette ?
I always say something like, "I'm so excited for you to receive a little something in the mail, especially not a bill!"
I just recently did this and it turned out the recipient was out of town. She was excited to get home and collect her mail.

I agree with pps. Nothing wrong with checking in (either by explaining that you've had some delivery issues or that you're excited to share that she has a surprise on the way). I certainly wouldn't be offended by it...
(And for future reference, delivery confirmation costs less than a dollar, I believe. It was only $0.80 for the two textbooks I've sent out this past week. Totally worth the piece of mind.)
