When mt DD was born my BF gave her a toy that her granddad had made, he'd made it for her daughter but she only had boys, but now she's adopting a girl so should I give it back to her?

I think I would at least offer if I were you :)

Yes you should, i'm sure she would really appreciate it & it would have a lot of sentimental meaning. Why not wrap it in some tissue paper & give it to her along with the card with a message i'm explaining why you are giving it back?

Is there any reason why you wouldn't give it back?

In it, not i'm

No there's no reason not to give it back it has no sentimental value to me I just don't know how to word giving it back really.

IS she having any kind of celebration when she gets her little girl? That could be a good time to bring it up. If not though I think it'd be a case of saying something short like "I know your granddad made this for your daughter, I now you have a little girl I thought she should have this". I imagine it will mean a lot to her.
