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.

I'm still so torn as to how to handle this. . .I have a feeling FMIL is going to wind up saying something before I do, so if that's the case, I'm off the hook. But I feel like something has to come from me. . .not sure what or how. FH doesn't think we should even bother to send a thank you card.

I'm sooo the kind of person to bluntly tell people what I think, but what would be the point here except to hurt feelings? And especially I wouldn't go ahead and throw the tag into the thank you. If you tell someone that might know her that you found this tag, it may get back to her, serving the purpose. Then she'll be embarrassed and you'll have always been the better person. JMO

I wouldn't say anything. Is it really worth the stress? Just be the better person and let it go.
ITA why let it bother you? be the bigger person, send a thank you and move on with your life. no offense, but it just doesn't seem like the type of thing to get so worked up over. if it were me, we'd be laughing at it behind her back, sure, but no one would 'do anything'...what's to do? let it go jmo

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!
LOL! what a great idea!

ugh how tacky!! i'm sorry, but i would HAVE to say something, but thats just me. while i would love to put the card in the thank you card, i dont think i'd have the b@lls to do that, but i would certainly suggest that she gave it to me by accident seeing as though the card was to her from so and so. or let her know some other passive agressive way that i know

OMG THATS CRAZY!!!! I dont think there is much you can do. Maybe FMIL can ask the cousin this : maybe by accident you gave the wrong gift. Since we all know its easy to do that when you just had a shower yourself. But we found a card at the bottom of the gift & the card read that it was for you.
I would so have her do that. Not so much for a proper gift. But more to make her feel like a CHEAP A$$!!!!

are you sure it wasn't a reused bag? Maybe that she got a gift from in at her shower? Or did you see her get that gift? Some people have no common sense.
Glad you had a good shower.

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 think you should just mail it to her with the shower thank you card...and instead of writing thank you in the card you should write 'I think you forgot this at the shower...thought I should return it to you. Obviously it was very sentimental'

Laugh it off. Is she worth getting upset about. Maybe you should give it to her as a favor.
