My very small family (aside from me it’s just my mom and my aunt) had a dinner several weeks ago where we discussed potential Christmas gifts we wanted. My mom is a certified yoga instructor and practices multiple times a week by herself at home as well. Since her dog often lays on the mat at home while she’s practicing, she wanted an XL yoga mat.
I texted in our group chat what each person wanted so we would all remember and we all went our separate ways. I coordinated with my mom what we were getting my aunt so she would not get duplicate items but unfortunately, my mom only asked for a yoga mat and nothing else and my aunt and I both assumed we were going to be the one to buy it.
Last night I dropped my gifts off at my mom’s (where celebrations take place) and my aunt noticed the similarly shaped box and asked if I had gotten her the same gift. Unfortunately with it being Christmas Eve, neither of us had time to secure another gift as the yoga mat was each of our “big gift” for my mom. We had both gotten her other small gifts but this was the one she asked for.
Today she opened both and while she said she likes them and might end up keeping both, I just feel so bad because she got both my aunt and I so many gifts and we didn’t get her nearly enough (mostly due to financial circumstances which we are all aware of).
TL;DR: didn’t communicate enough with my aunt and mom got 2 yoga mats and we feel bad
