Gifting multiple gifts issue

Update: it’s not that she doesn’t have to gift back, but Italics annoying when she goes and tells me, “Oh I bought this and sent it to a friend in another country and with gift and shipping it does cost.” She did that more than 4 times since January!

My hubby just tells me to not gift her.. but I’m the giving type honestly, and I usually don’t wait for payback!!

I just gave whenever there was an occasion.. but when someone brags about gifting, thats when it pisses me off

Is it just me or is anyone else like me? I looooooove gifting multiple gifts for the reason that just ONE gift isn’t enough!

For the last two years I gifted a friend multiple gifts that totaled be about $120 one year and last year $180 (excluding the flowers). And honestly I would love to have them for myself.

That’s for a birthday! When it was my birthday, the first time I received a shoulder purse and I saw the same exact one at homegoods for $25! And she told me that I bought it from the store itself (Tommy H)

And a month later she told me that, “oh if you want the bigger size, I saw there’s one at homegoods.”

And last year.. she never gifted me anything!

Honestly I don’t know.. even though she’s a bit of a family member so I can’t cut the friendship. I really neeed advice... if Giving multiple gifts makes the receiver think less of them!
