Finally got pregnancy-safe cleaner. Woohoo!

Maybe by then they'll ask if you got the gift? Or if your mom does mention it again and it hasn't arrived maybe you can mention it to her and she'll tell them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-etiquette#post-43705 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:19:26 +0000 heffalump 43705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also wait. If she doesn't hear from you she'll probably call you to see if you got the gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-etiquette#post-43654 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:38:27 +0000 Rosie Girl 43654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't say anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-etiquette#post-43609 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:06:23 +0000 tequiero21 43609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with @mrsbells. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-etiquette#post-43603 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:02:26 +0000 Mrsbells 43603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You dont know when they shipped it out to you so I would just wait and see, a lot of xmas cards and gifts can get delayed. You should only mention it if they ask you about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-gift-etiquette#post-43590 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:52:46 +0000 cyneswith 43590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in an odd situation. My brother and I don't normally exchange presents, but I do send gifts for their son. His wife told my mom that they bought me a Christmas present this year, and my mom told me that I'd be getting it either through e-mail or snail mail. It hasn't gotten here yet. </p> <p>If it doesn't arrive by, say, January 2, do I mention it? If SIL had told me directly to expect something, I'd let her know, but since I heard about it second-hand, I'm confused. I know that if I sent someone a gift, I'd want to know it arrived, and I tend to call and ask if it's past the expected shipping date. </p>
