NIFVR: Got a wedding gift today, lol

in Infertility Veterans

It's only 4 years late, LMAO!!!

So here's the back story: My mom works with the woman who gave it to us (in the same building just a floor apart), my mom, myself, my mom's co-workers/friends and my MOH (mom's coworker too), we all knew this lady had this gift for us since a week after my wedding 4 years ago (7/13).

Well....today was the woman's last day and she left it behind....no name on it, nothing to identify who it went to (although everyone knew), so I stopped by my mom's work today to open it/bring it home.  The card that was attached wasn't even filled out, just had the gift receipt in it.

So very weird, but it's a nice gift.  DH LOVES it!

    Wow!  That's a nice gift.  Kind of weird that she didn't actually give it to you so much as just leave it behind.  Does it have your monogram and everything?
