I returned to Sender

So, my MIL and FIL sent me a mother's day card that had some very passive aggressive comments thanking me for "partnering with (my husband) on this". And this is after 4 months of being No contact for me and my child who is 2. They were told specifically by myself not to contact me and I blocked them on all electronics and social media so they could not reach out any longer. My husband called and told them specifically not to mail me anything after I had received 3 letters from my MIL after telling her to no longer contact me. I feel like I am being petty by putting the card back in the envelope and writing return to sender on it. But I also feel like I am holding my boundary after being very clear about not wanting any contact with them after they have treated me so terribly over the years and especially horrible after our child was born 2 years ago. We do not live even remotely close and will soon be moving to another country so I will get even more peace when we are a 16 hour time difference. But am I being petty for returning to sender? Im a recovering people pleaser who let them walk all over me and dismiss me for years. Now I am not sure what's the best way to be firm on my boundaries and protect myself from further emotional abuse and disrespect.
