My Aunt has been continually mean, cheeky and nasty to me since I was 17 years old. She is 15 years older than me and I could never understand what I had done wrong as I have never been anything other than nice and polite to her. Tbh I feel like my dad who is her brother should have stepped in years ago but a lot gets brushed off in my family and blamed on drink. It’s been a very toxic environment, I feel like she’s maybe been jealous as I’ve never done anything to hurt or be mean to her. In the last 10 years I have kept my distance and only seen her at a few family events which I attend as I love my grandad however she’s still managed to say underhand comments to me and had been mean to other immediate family members. I have now deleted her from my life and have no intention to be in her company again. She has however sent her daughter to deliver a present for my 8 year old daughter. It makes me feel uncomfortable and as if she is not respecting my boundaries as she knows I do not want anything to do with her. I want to drop it at her door as I don’t want anything from her or for her to use against me however my husband thinks I am being unreasonable and intentionally causing more friction. So am I being unreasonable to return the gift to her door?

It's your daughters money now. So all these suggestions about giving it away are unfair.
Put it in your daughters savings account and say nothing of it to either party.

I agree with this.
