It's the thought that counts...

Stephanie, on November 27, 2018 at 1:06 AM Posted in Married Life 0 15

So last year, I went to a shower of a family member, I bought her a beautiful frame off of her registry. Well we see the bride of the wedding last year, and her mom, who gives me a gift and says, "It's just something for you guys!", super sweet. I didn't get time to open it, and thank god I didn't, because when I got home, I realized, it wasn't just someone's regift, IT WAS LITERALLY THE GIFT THAT I BOUGHT HER. She re-gifted me, my own gift, well actually her mom did. I have to say, I wasn't really offended, I was laughing so hard when I realized this, I still am laughing about it actually. But I must say our portrait looks beautiful in the frame.

    Lol. I'm glad you're not upset by it! It's weird that it was on her registry and she doesnt want it! Unless someone else bought her one too and didnt mark it as bought when you did, so she had two?

    Are you sure it’s the exact same one? Or did she really like it and figure you’d like one of your own?

    Agreed. She could have bought you the same one because she likes it so much! Or she could have gotten 2🤷‍♀️
    Either way you had a great positive response

    Ha!that happened to me once when someone gave me part of a gift I gave them a few years prior. She did it in person and I just smiled and said thank you. These are the things in life better laughed off. You have the right attitude!

    That is insane, and honestly pretty rude she didn't realize who she was regifting to. I would have laughed more than anything, but still! I'm glad you like the frame.

    I've had worse. At one point, I gave my mother a book, and inscribed it to her. My next birthday, she regifted it to me, still with my inscription in it.

    Maybe since she registered for it herself she loved it so much that she thought you would as well.

    This is soooo funny!!! It's good that you have a good attitude about this. Also, how bad that she didn't tell her that you had given it to her to save her some embarrassment if you did say something...
