Cousin Demands $100 Gift Card or Registry Item, Rejects Handmade Baby Blanket

Imagine spending hours crafting a beautiful, personalized baby blanket for a family member, only to have them reject it as ‘tacky’ and demand a pricey registry gift instead. That’s exactly what happened to a 26-year-old woman who loves to sew and create unique gifts for her loved ones. When her cousin, Beth, became pregnant with her second child, she sent out a gift registry filled with expensive items, leaving our protagonist in a tight spot.

Standing Up to Ungrateful Demands

Our protagonist decided not to attend the baby shower, but she’s still making the blanket for her cousin’s baby. After explaining the situation to her aunts, they now see Beth’s ungratefulness for what it is. With Beth now in the hot seat, it’s clear that our protagonist’s handmade gift is more than enough. It’s a shame that some people can’t appreciate the love and effort put into a thoughtful, personalized present.
