Search Results: birthday gift ideas

(Sorry bit of a long one)

It was my cousins birthday party and I bought her band merch and lots of other gifts that she absolutely loved.

My other aunt (not my cousins mum) made the remark ''My daughter (my other cousin) told you what to get and gave you the ideas for the gifts''.

I know my aunt was trying to make herself look good because my cousin didn't react as happily to the gifts my aunt had bought her. So she basically tried to have her daughter take credit for mine!

She basically gave credit for my gift ideas to her daughter in front of everyone! Trying to say they were her idea. I was very upset as I'd put a lot of thought, money and effort into picking out those presents and my aunt basically believes my other cousin had the idea and I just bought and paid.

I take pride in my ability to pick gifts and I like to be given credit for picking out the perfect gift for people. Is this wrong?

I basically left the party without comment but the next time I see my aunt should I make it clear they were my ideas? So I can stop thinking about this! Or shall I just leave it be and let her think whatever she wants. At least I know they were my idea!
