to expect a forgotten gift to have been collected by now ?

[Lilyloo]

My nephew left his present here xmas day , still here now. Would you have expected them to collect it or is it really an unwanted gift ?

It is only a week - maybe they are busy? It is likely to be parents who dictate when the gift can be collected, not the child.

Are you sure it wasn't just forgotten among many other gifts?

Maybe they forgot about it, and have a thread going "aibu to be cross that my aunt didn't get me a Christmas present?"

Just remind him.

How far away are they?

When did you send the reminder? This is a very busy time of year and with the amount of presents knocking about, collecting it may be a low priority but doesn't mean it wasn't appreciated.

It would annoy me.

I have stopped buying for some relatives because they never wanted to
make arrangements to exchange presents.
