Husband's grandma sent me lingerie

*cue blushing/cringing*

I just got some pretty hot lingerie in the mail from my husband's grandma for our "one month anniversary". I guess I should send her a thank-you note? She's a really nice lady, but AWWWWWWKWARD... Do we all agree this is inappropriate? Also, how did she get my size right? It is spot on. How do you guess someone is a 34 DD? Did she stalk me? I am torn between laughing hysterically and being creeped out. Do I just write a nice note and forget this ever happened and never mention it again? It's nice stuff, actually. I guess it's fine. There is a silk teddy made in France that I would have never bought myself.


I am dying. She also sent some lettuce seeds from her own garden. Like I said... she's a hugely nice lady, she's just weird. She also gave us a 170 year old crochet bedspread somehow still in amazing condition since it was made from a really sturdy linen thread.


I think she really wants great-grandchildren ASAP.

All I can do is post this, because I can't do anything beyond that besides making hideous cringing faces.

Hahahahaha. Just send her a note and don't be too embarrassed. My mom gave my sister edible underwear when she got married and I know she will end up getting me something like that too, even though I'm not having a shower or bachelorette party. She is always doing stuff like that so I learned a while ago to take it with a sense of humor. Just laugh it off and some day you'll be able to make a joke out of it.

My folks want grandkids, but they're not being really weird about it. Though my mom did famously embarrass me at my shower with a huge trousseau of very hilarious lingerie... but I think that was more for show and for laughs than anything... and everyone did laugh until they were wheezing and blue in the face as I opened each progressively more ridiculous thing.

Alright, now that I've collected myself.

I know thank you notes are ideally supposed to follow the format of 'Thank you so much for the ____, we plan to use it when we ______'

This might be an exception to the rule. "Hey Grandma, thanks for the lingerie, I'm going to wear it when I nail your grandson, who is my husband." is probably not necessary. It would be absolutely hilarious, but I wouldn't recommend sending it. Probably, "Thank you so much for the gift, it was incredibly thoughtful and I really appreciate it and I will do my best not to get any um... fluids on it" should suffice.

This one's creepy, annoying, and invasive, but I'd let it go and send a matter-of-fact thank-you note.

If she does or says anything more creepy, annoying, and/or invasive, I would ask your husband to tell his grandmother that it makes you uncomfortable when she does that and to stop.

My mom got me a nightgown at my bridal shower... my mom hasnt even had the sex talk with me sooooo that was awkward. I wouldn't even hold it up, my future sis in law who is marrying my brother did... and then my mom gave her a much raunchier one with a g string and all at her shower. yah, no thank you. At least mine was semi elegant. My parents already know my brother and FSIL plan on starting to have kids on their honeymoon where my FI and I are waiting 2-3 yrs for kids if not longer if not never.

hahahaha, go grandma!

I take the whole set of gifts as a damn big hint she wants grandchildren.

Unfortunately, I couldn't wear the lingerie without thinking, "Grandma bought me this."  Not actually a turn-on.  

Whip out a standard thank-you card and try to forget it happened

LOL!! I'm dying here!

I have to close my office door!!

Guess I'm in the minority. It's weird, but mostly just sweet. I'd assume she was campaigning for grandkids and kind of ignore where it came from (after sending a brief thank you card.)
As far as guessing your size (I'm the same and it's not that easy to find; it takes some hunting), I would assume either somebody found out during your dress/undergarments shopping/fittings or she asked.

I'm pretty good at assuming the best of people. I get it. She's in her seventies, and she's campaigning for great-grandkids. I can fully get over the ick factor, plus it's really nice/expensive stuff. Maybe she just likes buying lingerie and this is an excuse to do it. They came in a box with a rose sachet in it. She lives in Texas, so it'll be a while before I have to look her in the eye. I'll be over the embarrassment by the time she's in town again.

On a serious note, don't let this freak you out. It could have been way worse. My family is very open about sex and I have some horror stories. This is just something quirky that will end up being a good story.

Oh, this is currently my favorite story.

Yeah, this is my reaction right now.

My step-mom bought us a gift card to an "adult store". It's got lingerie stuff, but mostly it's got sex toys and porn. She was going to pick us out something specific but couldn't decide what to pick out. I'm assuming she meant lingerie but...could've meant anything.

I bet. Lol. I'm loving some the reactions though. Some day I might post some of the stuff my family has done just to see the reactions.

I'm also in the minority here lol I'm very open with my Mil, SIL and my mom, aunts, cousins, friends. Every birthday and Christmas my mom gets me new lingerie and *prepare for the horror, ick and gifs* my mil and SIL were with me and held my legs open when my va jay jay got waxed for the first time and my mils hand got trapped down there when my muscles spasmed and snapped close lol

chibiyui

MIL got me a very, generous, gift card to Victoria's Secret. I made DH write that thank you note.

I kind of wish people would buy me lingerie, or toys. I'm not having a bachelorette party, so there's no prime opportunity for these kind of fun gifts.

I don't have any stories like that. Lol.

My favorite story happened a few years ago. Before FI and I were engaged but it was pretty clear we were becoming serious, and we were still in college. My aunt sent me a package with a pack of condoms, a vibrator and a note saying "don't get pregnant in college. Wait until you graduate and then you can get pregnant as much as you want"

You need my friends. Those are birthday gifts in my group.

Well hell, we buy ourselves anything we want, what else do you get the girl who has everything but brand new dildo?

Haha but I don't want "alone" toys. I want partner toys.

melbelleup wait - do you really need a sex talk?  Does this still happen?

I got a nightie and a gift certificate to an adult store at my shower/bachelorette party this weekend.  I love the adult store the gift cert is for.  It is super female friendly, so clean and happy. That money is getting put to some good use!

Girl you haven't lived. Let your FI do some stuff on you with what you might categorize as 'alone' toys. Might be a game-changer!

Grandma is awesome. A little quirky, but awesome!

I second @beethery's recommendation of "alone" toy as partner toy.
