My boyfreind of 8 months broke up with me the day before Thanksgiving. This werent going well, but i am crushed that he did this right before my birthday and Christmas. My question is....I already bought him some Christmas gifts. I ordered his mothers gift online. It took a long time and hard work to do her gift. It is very personal for her that she will always cherish. I really want her to have it. Can I send it to her in the mail? (My ex and his mom live in the same house). Or one night near Christams drop it off in her mailbox or at the door? I wont bother giving him his, but i really want her to have what I got her. I know she would adore it. Its a personal calendar I had made of her dog. It took 3 hours to get that dog to stay still. Also, I had already made out his mothers Christamas card. Could I still mail that? I also made out ones for his brother and sister, but I guess I shouldnt send them right? and dont send my boyfriend his right? Please help. I dont know what to do.I just feel a bit embarassed. I dont want him to throw away what i mail his mom. I doubt he would. Also, I dont know what he told his family about us or why we broke up, so I feel odd to still send them all their cards, but you know what, I just just do it anyway. Who cares. If its over anyway, it wont matter. I'll probably never see them again anyway. I DO KNOW I cannot be with him again because he has way many issues.. I just want to do the right thing around Christmas time thats all. That why I need your help! Thanks!I am 28 years oldIf I personally dropped off the moms gift and rang the doorbell. Either no one will answer the door Or just the mother will and he will probably be home standing right there. Or he may answer the door but i doubt it. This is very awkward for me. Its just him and his mom. The brother and sister do not live there.I just thought of two things. What if I put no return address and godforbid it never gets to her? It will never come back to me for me to know she never received it if it gets lost in the mail. Another thing, I am taking some vacation days before Christmas. She is home all day. I could go to the house while he is at work and personally hand it to her, so I know she gets it and I wont have to worry. Does that sound like pushing it? or is that okay?

Yes, you can still send her the gift. You can still be close to her even if you broke up with her son.

Just cuz you and him are over doesnt mean you punish the family, i would give it to his mother and siblings, just to show what he has done and missed. Your a cool girl, and dont worry bout his gift, keep it or return it or donate it. and Happy Birthday to you

Take his presents back but give hers to her. I would do it as soon as possible that way you won't have to deal with them anymore and I would not send anyone in that house hold a Christmas card. If you want to give the mom one, give it with her present.

If she's not involved, and shouldn't be, of course you can. Perhaps sooner than later so he doesn't have the idea that you did it because of him. Definitely don't give him his. As far as the siblings go, I would not. The mother's is special because you had it made. Wow, you were very patient with the dog - that's very cool.

Whatever your beef is with the ex. it is unlikely to be the fault of his Maw!If you think highly of her, deliver the gift yourself! Give it to her face to face and to hell with the arsehole ex!

Well it is ok to send the mothers but you are right stay away from him if you don't want him no more but if you do try to talk to him.

Sure you can give his mother her gift, she'll love it. You can either mail it or place it on her front step, I'd avoid putting it in the mailbox. You can attach the card to the gift or mail it. Definitely return the gifts you got for your boyfriend.
