i wouldn't, i mean, if a gift isn't given with warm wishes that isn't generous...just a card wishing her good luck or congratulations or a speedy death would suffice. also, i assume dh will exercise his discretion here [ Reply | More

Probably not since I handle things like these. He has a demanding job and I am home with kids so in our marriage this falls under my discretion. [ Reply | More

When I graduated from b-school I didn't expect a gift. A card would be nice, signed by DC if they are old enough. Bringing them into it conveys the notions of ongoing education, women going to school, and special achievements that are worth recognizing. Worth doing. [ Reply | More

Your dh's sister? If he wants to get a gift it is his choice - you really can't say no. How is she when she is around your dc? Nice or indifferent? [ Reply | More

Nice. what should I get her. She is just the type of person who is very hypocritical to the point where its almost comical. I don't really care if we get her something its just what to get her. We are not made of money so it has to be reasonable. I would say like $100, [ Reply | More

I wish I could help you but I am the worst with gifts. My sil actually requests gift cards (and mentions the store she likes)so that is what she gets. Maybe something impersonal like that isn't such a bad idea since she seems inconsiderate about buying for your dc. [ Reply | More
