If we were "friends", she would no doubt have a sarcastic sense of humor. Based on that, I would take it as a sarcastic joke and laugh. I would also get her back. A woman might be offended but likely only if they had never gotten along to begin with.

Then she is one mean, nasty person and I would have no contact with her. She is looking for a reaction.

I know you want your daughter to be the bigger person here so I would not heed my own advice, but if I were your daughter I would  have a casket delivered to my mother-in-law for her birthday. I would love to see her expression!

What a clever idea! I hope they were close enough for her to have gotten away with it. Personally, I’d love a gift like that. This stuff is expensive and probably doesn’t work……….

Not many women escape hail damage, *laughs out loud* bulletman. I wouldn't be offended but, I can think of better gifts to give/receive.

What a grumpy old witch! I would send her a lovely DEAD bouquet of flowers as a thank you gift!

Consider the source and respond in kind with Metamucil, Ex-lax, or some other form of laxative/fiber product.  If someone asks why Mumsy is getting it, your daughter can say it's because her mother-in-law is full of...

 or not.  I'd just skip the old lady's special day completely.

If they are on friendly terms and enjoy in this kind of humour, then it is just the way they are with each other. If it was not the case, then I would have filled her glass with geritol!

I might send her these for her next birthday gift ... lol

I'm not a girl, but I couldn't resist. "Here's to you, mom!"

If they are on good terms, it was probably supposed to be a gag. But, in addition to that, she should have included a nice gift........like a gift card to a trendy resturant.
