| Why not ask a co-worker to discreetly find out from her. |

| No. Certainly not. I think you are rather greedy. It is very presumptuous. When you get the gift, you write a note and say thanks. When and IF. |

| If I had bought a gift for someone, and they didn't acknowledge that in a certain amount of time, I would ask them if they had received it. Everyone knows mistakes can happen in shipping. She won't hold it against you if you don't give her a thank you card for a gift you didn't receive. She WILL take the not-to-subtle hint though, if she DIDN'T get you a gift and you go asking her about the gift situation. What I would do in your situation, is be seen making out thank you cards at work, during your break or whenever. It will either remind her to give you the gift that she has forgotten to give you, or when she doesn't get a thank you card, she'll ask you what the deal is. |

| I would not ask. I would let it go. But you if can't then maybe if she asks you can talk about putting the nursery together and so on. But DO NOT ask!!!!! Let her say oh I forgot to drop you gift in the mail, no you saying hey where's my gift. |

| Yes you should ask if she sent you a gift, because you never received one. Make sure she knows that you are not asking for one, but are looking out for her interests in case it was sent and never arrived. One of the biggest social gaffes is not acknowledging gifts and thanking the giver. Therefore, I would thank her politely for her interest and consideration, and then tell her that you know she planned to send you something, but since it didn't arrive, you wanted her to know. Make sure you let her know that you are not asking for something, but looking out for her interests. I know that if I send something, I want to know it arrived. I don't care what happens next (use, regift it, return it, burn it) but please let me know it arrived. So - go to her, explain that you wanted to thank her but never received anything. As long as you handle it with lots of tact and consideration for her feelings, everyone wins. Under NO circumstances should you ask her if she bought the mattress. |
