I have a lovely friend with an equally lovely daughter. It was her birthday recently and I sent a card and a gift voucher.
On the top of the voucher (ones you can pick up in supermarkets), was printed that the value could be from £20 - £100.
I chose £25, paid and then put the receipt with it. I have given a gift of £20 - clothes or cash in the past.
Lovely daughter messaged me a thank you and how grateful she was. all good and usual. Then lovely friend messaged me to say how kind it was of me and thanked me.
Then - sorry this is so long! - due to having to speak to her husband about something unrelated by email, he again thanked me for my very generous gift to daughter.
It's lovely to be thanked but would it be rude/lacking in etiquette to ask if the receipt was received? I am wondering if they think the gift was more due to what is printed on the voucher than the amount I paid?!
I'm not losing sleep but am concerned she'll go to spend it and it isn't the amount thought. I also think they would quite rightly think - why on earth is Trampoline buying such expensive gifts this year!
Thank you.
