here's an etiquette stumper.
a friend came to my shower and bought me a gift, a really nice gift. i only know b/c i can track it on my "thank you note tracker" on my registry site (WS).
apparently, i did not open the gift at the shower because she's not on the gift list that was prepared at the shower and i have no memory of opening this particular gift (and since i've been obsessing about the registry, i remember everything).
i called the store to see if she had just shipped it and maybe it's lost, but they said that she picked up the gift at the store and took it with her.
we've seen each other since and no word about the gift. is it completely tacky to ask about it? do i send a thank you note even though i never actually got the gift? i'd feel horrible if she did bring it and we lost it somehow, then she's out the $$ for nothing.
