If someone told you they had a Christmas present for your child, but forgot to bring it the last time you got together, would you remind them to bring it this time?

A friend of mine (a fairly new friend) has three kids, and I have a daughter. We agreed we’d exchange presents, but the holidays were hectic and so we decided to meet at the mall about a week after New Year’s so we could eat and everyone could hang out and play in the play area.

My friend told me what she bought for my daughter. I bought a lot of stuff for her 3 kids (mostly clothes, which I know the kids don’t care about but it’s practical). When we arrived at the mall, she said she forgot to bring the gift. I don’t mind- I understand, as I can be forgetful myself.

We’re getting together again this week, very similar circumstances. Can I or should I somehow remind her to bring my daughter’s present? If the answer is yes, can you give me some advice as to how to go about doing so? I can’t imagine what I would say without sounding tacky (“Don’t forget to bring _____’s present.” ??)
