Search Results: birthday present 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!

I've been with him for 2 years. I've expressed multiple times during our relationship that I'd like presents from him. I don't expect loads, it could just be a small present, like a keyring or teddy bear just something that shows he recognises that's what I like and thinks about me. He sent me a present once on my first birthday after I'd asked him many times. My last birthday I asked him for a present politely before my birthday, and he didn't get me one.
Don't get me wrong I don't want his money or anything. Just him to treat me with something little on my birthday and valentines day? That really is all I've asked him for and he doesn't do it. Yesterday I got angry at him for it. Maybe I shouldn't have. After I've asked him 3 times for a present , he says he has an idea with his friend. This made me angry, because I felt like he'd just say it and not actually do it, and because i'd had to have asked so many times to get to that point.
he also told me he buys presents for his friend, who lives abroad, to give to his girlfriend who lives near my boyfriend.
I don't know if I should go back and apologise. But this really really upsets me. I don't expect a lot, and he's not bad off, he's just been on holiday.
