Would you ask about a gift?

It depends what it is?

Mmm tough one.

I like Pac's thing about vouchers - I spent $100 on my sis last year for birthday for gold class vouchers for her and BIL, which have a 12 mth expiry, and I know she hasn't used them. I will be asking her soon cuz if she doesn't want to go, give them to someone who does!!!!

But, flip side, a friend of mine, for my 30th, said she'd gotten me a voucher for a "pamper day" at a fancy spa, but it hadn't arrived in the mail so she just gave me the brochure and said she'd pass on the voucher when it arrived. Never got it off her. Assumed she had forgotten to actually buy it or something, never said anything.

I'm now 32, said to friend randomly just a week or so ago something about it and she got really upset - they charged her for it but she never received it. Said she was going to follow it up. So I wish I'd said something sooner!

But actual gifts, no. Some of the things we got for our engagement I have regifted or donated to charity auctions as they are just not our taste. Sad but true, sorry.

Maybe she uses the cutlery for good? I know I have an expensive set that gets pulled out when I have more than 3 people for dinner (or if I'm doing more than 2 courses) as it is a setting for 6.

I gave some friends a nice engagement present (I thought it was nice) and guess what, when I got engaged they regifted it back to us, I knew it was the exact present because of the way I had covered the price on the box

That is just so rude. If you're going to regift you at least make sure you don't give it back to the giver! I must admit, I'm not actually a re-gifter myself, even if its something I really don't like. I'll usually keep it in my cupboard for however many years and then give it to the Salvos.

I would be asking her about the cutlery.
