Was this tacky?


MoonMama wrote: Some neighbors who have never even said hi to us before came over with a gift basket of yummy goodies and treats for us. Thinking on my toes I went into the kitchen and grabed one of the bottles of sparkling apple cider I had done up all pretty for tomorrow, a tin of homemade cookies and brownings, and one of the snow globes I did up a bunch of with Braedin's pictures in the middle for family and friends. Put them all in a pretty gift bag and gave it to them. Now they have know idea this is how I did this, but my aunt thinks that was way too tacky. Was it? I had know idea they were going to bring us something. blush.gif sad.gif

mckayleesmom replied: No...I think it was a nice gesture and hopefully in the future you will get to know them better.

CantWait replied: Not at all.....Sounds really nice if you ask me. Maybe she just thought it tacky because you hadn't thought of it earlier, or did you? In either case I thought it's a nice gesture of thanks. hug.gif

paradisemommy replied: i don't think it tacky one bit..only maybe tacky of your aunt to tell you that.. laugh.gif

MommyToAshley replied:
I agree!

I think it was a nice gesture and quick thinking on your part. I'd love to get a gift bag like that! thumb.gif

Maybe this will lead to you getting to know your neighbor better.

luvmykids replied: I have to disagree with your aunt, I think it's great you were so well prepared! hug.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: How is that tacky? I think it was VERY generous of you. It wasn't like you gave them cookies that someone else made you. Then I would call that "regifting"!

Cece00 replied:
Exactly. What you did was very nice. thumb.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied: No, not tacky at all. I think it's a very nice gesture. It's the thought that counts and I would have been thrilled with the goodies if I were your neighbor! biggrin.gif

redchief replied: No, it wasn't tacky at all. That was very nice of you. Hopefully the gift exchange will develop into a lasting neighborhood friendship. smile.gif

mom2my2cuties replied: I think it was a great idea exchange!

Aren't you new to that neighborhood? I think it's a perfect icebreaker.


C&K*s Mommie replied: dito.gif to all the above. Not tacky at all.

jem0622 replied: It was a kind gesture of the heart. Do not let others judge you or interpret anything. It is not their place to do so! That was very nice of you and quick thinking too!
