She's shallow. Don't buy her another gift. She doesn't deserve it.

The rules of etiquette say never to tell someone how much you spent on their gift. Likewise, one should never ask how much someone spent on their gift. It's extremely rude.

she means it was too expensive you idiots. Your parents never want to to spend a lot of money on them, it's the same way with mine. Whenever I would ask my mom or dad what they wanted they would always say nothing expensive. Even though it was only $30 that's probably more than she wanted you to spend. Come on ppl :D

yeah, the only time my mom ever asks how much a gift cost is when she thinks i spent too much money on her. i bet she told you not to get her anything expensive... and probably said that right after she told you to return it, which of course you omitted from your post.

She could have accepted it graciously too. ANYBODY who asks how much a gift costs is rude.

See #50 #57: It's not clearly stated in the FML which way is the case... you are making an assumption and calling others idiots for not assuming the same way as you. You are clearly drawing on experience from your own parents, making another assumption that everyone's parents are the same as yours. So really, you're the idiot. Either way, there should always be a don't ask/don't tell rule with gift prices, and either way she could have handled it better than shoving it away and telling the OP to return it.

Teach her a lesson and don't get her any more gifts.

well, you're never supposed to tell people how much stuff costs.

Sounds like a kinda tacky gift, but what a bitch.
