Yup, you read that correctly. I received so many nice, generous things from relatives and friends. . .except from FH's cousin. She regifted some stupid Body Shop foot care thing and a marriage book FROM HER OWN SHOWER TWO MONTHS AGO. We figured it out when FH found the 'To FH Cousin, from Elizabeth & Rachel' tag IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG. Invites are already out, so we can't take hers away.
How do we handle this? FMIL is LIVID, and I haven't even told my mom about this yet.

The tag was DEFINITELY from the Body Shop foot care gift kit. I had FH triple check just in case it was a reused gift bag (which I've done plenty of times as well).
I'm just really, really disappointed in how selfish she was. Makes me glad that I didn't talk to her at all during the shower. . .
Do you think she's just that dense? FH thinks so.
Some people just have no class.

I know I've given things to my family that I've received as gifts from students (ie. chocolate covered almonds because I don't eat nuts). . .but I've always included something else with the gift. I didn't completely regift an item and that was it!!!
She is a self-centered, spoiled rotten (let's just say mommy is paying for a $250/head wedding in May that I REALLY don't want to go to now) brat who needs to know that I know what she did. It was very hurtful and disrespectful.

I wouldn't say anything. Is it really worth the stress? Just be the better person and let it go.
i totally, 100%, agree

take the high road and let it go.
IMO it's totally not worth it.

But it's so hard NOT to want to say something. Can I show her that I know without making a huge deal out of it?

I would just write something on the thank you card directly to her about it just to make her feel uncomfortable and then leave it like that

I can't believe she did that, that's so messed up. She didn't even remove the tag in the bag or anything. I would not know what to do.

The tag was 'removed'. . .but it was left in the original bag it came in. She didn't even buy a decent card. . .so you could tell that she just didn't care. OOH OOH OOH, AND she said it was from her sister and her mom as well!!! I wonder if her mom knows what she did. . .

i dont know about you i like to make people aware that I know and they cant get it pass me..i would be like 'thanks for the foot care and book...how did it work for you because i remember you got one for your shower' she is in the wrong and maybe she will realize that is wrong if she doesnt she will learn not to regift to another who was at the event...dummy
This is exactly the type of thank you card I would write to her! And then I would add something like ' oh yeah, say hi to Rachel for me'

Re: It POURED. . .and I got a regifted shower gift!!!
I know I should be really happy about how everybody else has been treating me. . .but why am I letting this one thing get to me so much? If this is her way of 'getting back at me' for not being able to come to her shower (I had booked a trip MONTHS in advance, and couldn't cancel it, so FMIL and I went in on a gift together), then it's really lame. I'm just really hurt and have to figure out a way to let her know that she's not cool in my book.
I know I have to be the bigger person, but how can I even look her in the face after this? I've been so tempted to send a Facebook message to her about it, but know that it's not the right medium. Sigh.

I agree- wouldnt say anything to me its just a gift but i do get why you are angry, re-gifting like that is horrible but i wouldnt want to start any drama, to me its not worth it.
putting the tag in the TY card is FUNNY though i wouldnt do it but it would be funny still if you did.

I'm going to continue figuring out what to do about this. . .but for now, I can be the bigger person and just plot out in my head what I'd like to see happen instead of doing it. . .LOL

I wouldn't say anything. She came to the shower. She's family. Just let it go, its really not worth the fight.

Include the tag in the thank you card. You'll get your point across and she'll feel dumb when she opens the card and realizes that you know!
I was thinking about adding the tag into the thank you card, too. . .and then maybe saying 'how did it work for you?' LOL
OMG you should sooo do that! i wouldnt let it go, that was wrong of her-and to not even take the time to check that there was any way to tell. GO FOR IT GIRL!!!!!!!

Are you sure she didn't just reuse the gift bag?

Are you sure she didnt just re-use the giftbag? People do that all the time.

Wow, if this is in fact what happened, and not just the reused gift bag, that's messed up. I don't know what I would do. I'm all bark but relatively no bite, so I'd probably piss and moan and not do a thing, but the idea of putting the tag in the thank you card is pretty good. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

If this is true. I would return the gift to her and say I am sure but I think this belongs to you.
You have to go to the wedding because if you say no I feel that she will think it is a favor!!
I wish you were getting married before her and then screw her in the envelope!! Ok that is the Italian in me!!!
