How to respond to this message about presents?

[OhHelp0hNo]

My friends had their DTDs Christened yesterday and had a gathering afterwards for their joint Christening / Birthday party (they are 1 today).
I bought them each a collectors edition of a classic children's book as a present (different books).
Today I had a message from my friend saying that they've got their Christening presents but where are their birthday presents?
Perhaps I should have got them two presents each but I decided not to. Now I feel really awkward and don't know how to respond!

I think your friend is very cheeky and I would respond telling her the very nice, well thought out present was a combined birthday and christening present and she's welcome!

Tell her as it was a joint party you brought a joint present!!

How incredibly rude of them! I wouldn't bother responding, they are behaving in a very grabby manner and need ignoring like a greedy child.

You're not the one who should be feeling awkward!

@ResponsibleMushroomForager ok  not sure why anyone would make that up!

@EmmaJR1 that's what I'm tempted to do but really don't want to fall out with them...! My other thought was to claim I'd accidentally left the birthday pressies in the car and post something today, but that feels a bit cowardly!

What a cheeky cow! Firstly, I can't believe someone has actually been rude enough to think that but to then secondly, actually ask you outright?!

I'd reply along the lines of:

We chose these books as gifts as they're special, collectors editions and as such, are for their birthday and in celebration of their christening.

In my head id be thinking " there is no way I'm spending a load more money on 4 presents in the run up to christmas"

how can they be sure they are the christening presents and not the birthday presents?

which card did you get? birthday?

@TheLittlestLightOnTheTree I didn't get a card (I meant to but forgot!) just a present each with their name on

OP don't overthink this. You gave a generous gift and you don't need to attach cards. I never give cards now, haven't for a while as they just get thrown away and it seems a waste!

I'd say that I'm not doing birthday presents for children of friends as over time there will be too many.

@Thesnobbymiddleclassone thanks, that's how I justified not getting a card to myself!
You're right, I am overthinking it. It's made me feel really anxious though, I should have got 2 presents each.

"Hi [friend]
Don't worry, you didn't misplace anything, I bought joint birthday/christening presents to match the joint birthday/christening celebrations. Just to let you know they're collectors editions so perhaps best to keep them on a high shelf for a couple of years. Lovely to see you yesterday. Love to all xx"

Text back "combined party = combined presents LOL"

The LOL makes it fun and friendly

@TeenTimesTwo unfortunately that won't wash because I buy birthday presents for their oldest DC and they buy for my 2.

Cheeky twat! Just tell her it's a joint present. If she's rude about it, end the friendship! Grabby bugger!

@user187656748 really like this, thanks.

@Autumnsunrise ha!! That genuinely made me lol

Nice try you cheeky fucker?

I'd reply with
haha good one! You had me for a moment there!

What user said.

On MN sometimes things with twins is seen as a troll flag - wierd but true!

Also, she may genuinely be wondering if they've been misplaced and not being grabby!

Yes I also like user187656748 's reply.

I would send her something as user187656748 suggested, sounds really nice and polite.

I misplaced presents a few times in the past. Found one a few months after birthday.

I'm genuinely open mouthed that someone could be that rude

Talk about grabby.
