I buy a couple of specific skin products from a brand that sometimes does a 'free gift', so I buy then and usually give the 'gift' (a make up bag with a few travel sizes and bits in it) to DD as an extra birthday or Xmas pressie - or just a little treat if wrong time of year).
A close friend was staying last year on DD's birthday and commented that I shouldn't give something that was free as a present. DD knows they come with my products but really likes them due to the brand, fancy packaging etc - I ignored the comments.
The next few times I saw the friend she brought it up again - making crass 'jokes' when I've given her DC the freebie biscuit that came with my coffee etc which I've ignored.
It's DD's birthday in a few weeks and she we were planning on meeting up on Saturday. She's sent me a text today saying:
"look what I got DD! (with a pic of a make up compact) No more sloppy seconds for her haha!"
DD will like the compact and it's very generous but I don't understand the constant digging about what was a small add on gift over a year ago. I also found the misogynistic comment repulsive even thou we do both swear/use bad language etc, it seems a really provocative and uncalled text. Can anyone explain? I have asked directly what the issue is but she won't answer and then brings it up again.
AIBU to give DD something that I am given free, that she loves and is really excited about?
