Can I ask my SIL this birthday Q? (not serious)

[SkiFiend]

It's my niece's birthday tomorrow. We're seeing my SIL and her family (inc DN) and I've bought DN a small present.

I've suddenly had a panic that I might have forgotten my nephew's birthday, which was in March (he is the brother of DN). If so, I'd like to bring him a present too (very late but he won't mind).

However, I simply cannot remember whether I bought him something in March or not. Have looked through my old Amazon orders and it's not helping.

Would it be very rude to email my SIL and ask whether she remembers whether I got something? The kids are 9 and 6. The whole family is very chilled.

If you haven't seen him in a while take a little gift for him anyway?

Bring a birthday gift for him, if he says you gave him one already, say oh silly me....and give it anyway!

Buy him something but hold it back until you have asked sil if you bought him something in March. (I suspect you did not if you can't remember doing so). Then, if you did get him something then, keep whatever you buy today for Christmas.

How would your niece react that her brother got a present as well? Would she be ok with this ?

I wouldn't mind at all - I'd think it was sweet you were being so careful to be fair.
