Flower girl gift - Tiffany's?

wandajune6

We'll have 2 flower girls: my niece who will be 2.5 and his niece who will be 4.

We got them both cute little jewelry boxes with their names on it and age-appropriate toys. The jewelry boxes will make their moms (my MOH and BM) happy and the toys will make the kids happy.

My sister bought my daughter a necklace from Tiffany's when she was 5. My sister has since passed away, and the necklace is one of my daughter's favorite things. Not because it was from Tiffany's though, but because it was from her aunt.

Did FSIL suggest the gift or did your FI think of it on his own because he recalled his sister getting a pair? If FSIL suggested it that was really rude of her to suggest such a high end gift.

Also, earrings are fine, but a really expensive pair from Tiffany's seems kind of crazy to me.  Why not get her a nice pair in her birth stone from a local jewelry store?  They would be a bit more reasonable for a 3 year old.

It was kind of a mutual idea. I said I wanted to get her something special, and they had brought it up and he had asked his sister if she liked the idea.

I think that's quite a far assumption to make considering you don't know her, just saying.

So this was the conversation ...
"Hey, FSIL, we want to get Flower Girl a pair of diamond stud earrings from Tiffany's.  Is that okay?"
FSIL ... "oh sure, nbd".

right?

Not in the least bit. But i'm gonna end the conversation there because that's not the type of person I am
