How to handle mystery gifts?

I've seen a couple people post something on Facebook saying something like "hey we received a few generous gifts (list them) but the cards went MIA, please let us know if it was from you so we can relay our gratitude!" That way you're asking without directly asking someone who didn't give you anything (awkward) Good luck!

Are they physical gifts from your registry? If so, you can probably find out from the store who purchased it. We had something sent to our house with no packing slip so had no idea where it came from. I called Bed Bath and Beyond and they were able to tell me who purchased it.

Hmmm, that's awkward. Are you able to check your registry? I've heard that some of them will have who bought it listed. Maybe this will help you narrow it down. Would you be able to check with your parents/in-laws if they know the people? Maybe someone mentioned to one of them that they had got you, X.

Good luck!

I've wondered what to do as well with the same. I had a mystery gift shipped to my house without a packing slip, receipt, or anything. I tried to call the number of the company on the box to find out who sent it but it was some random person's office number in MN (we don't know anyone there). So...yeah.

ETA: we're not registered anywhere. I'm hoping someone just brings it up randomly.

View Quoted Comment I really like this idea, that way you can give the proper thanks.

Some of the things were off the registry, some of them were not...and some were off a Zola registry and people forgot to mark things off so that's no help.
