What would you do?

I would probably just play around sending a gif or something like “so cute!!” and forget about it 😂

@Ana Moore messaging her that right now lmao thank you! I wish I could buy her gifts but we’re just on that right now 😫 haven’t even bought myself any piece of clothing in the last year lmao

Totally get it girl!! We stopped buying gifts for everyone too and we only buy for the kids.

@Ana Moore ok that makes me feel better lmao thank you!

The beginning sounds like she shoulda sent it to her sugar daddy

I'd probably say "tell santa that I want those boots too." lol

@Cindy lmaoooo

@Courtney hahah that’s a good one too lmao

Act oblivious. She could have sent it to her son but nooooo. So no. She’s a grown woman she’ll survive. Idk if yall go over for Christmas or not but if u do i wouldn’t mention anything as well and just act like I didn’t get the hint

Our family is HUGE and everyone comes over for Christmas. I mean EVERYONE from the state to out of state so we started doing secret Santa cuz no one’s getting 20+ people gifts. Also that was everyone gets a present. And we get an extra boy and girl toy for if an extra kiddo comes or anything.

@Kelly Cote no we didn’t last year and we’re not going to this year either we have a lot going on so it’s just gonna be us 3 and we’re inviting some friends over. So we’re not about to online shop for everyone 🥲

@Kelly Cote that’s a good idea too! Maybe we’ll do that next year once’s we’re more settled

She sounds like a good mother in law, so I'd get her the boots. I'd give them to her discreetly so it wouldn't be weird no one else got a present. Send her back a request for something similarly priced that you would otherwise have to buy for yourself so it's already in the budget. This is a way to strengthen the relationship, which is the important thing at the end of the day, and for the price of boots, it's a bargain. If she is not a good MIL, I'd get her the $30 knock-off version. 😆

@Bonny she’s not a bad MIL but we simply don’t have the extra money at the moment. I’m not even buying my own mom anything (and she would never ask, she just wants me to be good) We’re under one income now so we obviously discuss what we buy, and we agreed on no gifts this year (we’re also not flying to see our family this year) so we’re just not going to be shipping gifts 😅 and I honestly don’t need or want her or anyone else to get my anything (cause I would just feel uncomfortable lol) We’re honestly just focused on our move, making our new house a home for our babygirl and getting our life together. It’s just crazy to me cause I would never ask anyone to buy me something EVER, unless it’s my man lol

And some people may think it’s stingy and it’s Christmas and she’s my MIL but I literally do not even have $60 lmao. It’s crazy going from being a person that always worked and had money to not having it, it really humbled me. Can’t wait to move and find a part time job cause my family really needed. Anyway thank you for your responses everyone 🫶

I would respond with “those are really cute, hopefully Santa comes through for the both of us this year!” And send her back something off of your wishlist

Be honest… if you have a good relationship with her you could say: ‘they’re nice boots but Santa is taking another year off due to financing issues’. Re-route the gift to your FIL or any other close family members she has! If you don’t really get on then just be blunt. ‘Really sorry, we’re not doing gifts external to our family of 3, we don’t expect a gift from you either.’

The same thing happend to me not long ago my partners brothers wife messaged me and said she wanted these sexy pjs (a bit different to boots) but I ignored her We don’t buy things for our family as there is a lot of us who come every Christmas we only get the little ones which are only 4,2,5 and 6 so if you don’t get her them boots don’t worry xx

I would interpret this as a joke and do the same thing that Courtney said 😆 that is just weird that a grown aS woman would ask for a Xmas gift especially if y’all are not even that close

@Rebecca I love that you just simply ignored her lmao. Idk I just think it’s weird to ask someone to get you something if they didn’t ask you. Like if I realllly wanted something I would find a way to buy it myself but I wouldn’t send anyone of my family members a photo and say “get this for me” like what? 😫😱😂 we’re not kids anymore idk

@Carla🤎🎀 it’s just weird to ASK for a gift! close or not close, like wth 😂 Aaaaand on top of that knowing that that person doesn’t work , just crazy, like leave me alone lmao

It made me sick that she asked for sexy pjs 😂😂xxx

Just add a laughing emoji at the bottom of her message and don’t reply and then if she asks just act like you didn’t know she was hinting that she wanted them 😂
