Housewarming Gift
My 32yo single daughter bought her first house last month and her friends are throwing her a housewarming party tomorrow. She didn't tell us anything about the house until the day she closed because she knew we would try to talk her out of it.
As her three siblings have gotten married and bought their first houses, we gave them very nice gifts (a refrigerator, a freezer, a new stove, etc.). This one calls to tell us that she bought a house - what are you going to buy me for it, like you did the others. After we got over feeling like a bill collector had called us, we did pay to have mini blinds put in and took her shopping to buy ceiling fans, a cute dining chandelier, a small gas grill, and a few other essentials. Well, she totalled that up and called to ask if we would pay to sod her backyard and come put the fans and lights up. MY QUESTION: I don't even want to go to the party tomorrow, but hubby says we should go. Do, we take yet another gift or would it be acceptable to give her a card and list the gifts we've given her already?
