Dear Queenie,
Recently I attended an engagement party where a close relative was going to introduce his fiancée to the family. I asked him her clothing size and brought her a nice blouse, but when she opened it she said it was not her favorite color and not her style and she handed it back to me. I returned it to the store and got a refund.
Queenie, should I get her something else to replace the gift she didn’t like?—Gift-giving Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
I suggest you give her the most complete book on etiquette you can find. And in the future just give her money – I am willing to bet she will like the colour and style of that! Or make a donation to a charity in her name.
