So my BM tells me today (the one who I had the reservations about asking) that she saw a great wedding gift for me and FH in a magazine but she wasn't sure if we would like it.
So me, being me, said you saw a picture of cash in a magazine? Cool.
She then proceeds to tell me that it's a set of 12 Christmas ornaments, of animals, that each have a symbolism for newlyweds.
ORNAMENTS????
Was I totally out of line to tell her that that's a house warming gift, not a wedding present???
Guess who's not being invited with a guest anymore!

JMO I think that is kind of rude. It is the thought that counts. Maybe it is something she had in mind to give at your bridal shower. Aren't your shower gifts consider a wedding gift too? Maybe she also intends to give $$$ on your wedding day. But this is JMO

ITA... and this is the BM that you felt wasn't really excited for you.... today she thought of a gift for you and you pretty much shot her down. So if she was working on changing her behavior this might have pushed it back to square one. I think you should cut her a little slack. No matter how small or 'cheesy' the gift is you should always be gracious. JMO

I am sorry, I have to agree with them.. She was just trying and she was excited.. besides she could have meant as a shower gift....and if not.. if it was a wedding gift.. in the end it is that thought that counts.

It sounds like she was putting thought into it and given what you have told us about her, the fact she was thinking about a gift for you at all seems like a good thing. Maybe she thought it was something special.
