shower thank you note - please help!

[ficklefaye]

i''m working on my shower thank you notes, but i''ve come across a toughie, my older auntie gave me some risque lingerie and now i have no idea how to thank her, should i just say, thank you for your present and sort of sidestep the rest of it?

I''m of two mindsets about your aunt. If she''s a cool aunt and you could laugh with her you could say thank you in your card and then say you know it''ll be put to good use

...or just say thank you and side step the rest. It all depends on your relationship with your aunt especially if she''s a young aunt and closer to you in age than your parents. I have an aunt that''s like that and we practically grew up like cousins instead of aunt/niece and she''s going to help throw my bachelorette....Now, if this aunt is older and more conservative just say thank you. That should suffice.

thanks, luckyeshe, she''s actually an older aunt and she helped raise me which made the situation even stranger because i opened the present in front of everyone at the shower, my face must have been red! i''m waiting for my cousin to send me photos

i think i''ll go ahead and just thank her without going into detail

Oh boy... I agree with Luckyeshe. Was your aunt there when you opened the gift?
