Just remind your friend that gift receipts are always a wise idea when gifting to a teenager.

You might be doing her a favor by bringing it up discreetly. All depends on how close you two are though, don't want to shoot a gift horse and all that..

I said no, my ex, naturally, said yes. I tell her to keep it at her dad's house b/c he's happier there. My kid asked for that annoying hamster thingy. I said no, my ex, naturally, said yes.

Played with it for a couple days. Now it just sits. I wish I had kept the box. He could be making himself some college tution. My 7 yr old bought himself a Zhu Zhu pet & two pods for it in September.

It actually was more of a joke around our house to unwrap her gifts every year - the kids got good at showing appreciation for the gift - it's good practice cause it won't be the only time in their life they get a not so great gift.
