An aunt, who went the extra mile to find the perfect birthday gift for her nephew, was left hurt and confused when he expressed his disappointment weeks later. The nephew, a Mario fan, received a Bowser amiibo for his Nintendo-themed birthday. However, he later told his aunt that he would have preferred an ice climbers amiibo instead. The aunt is now torn between discussing the issue with her sister or letting it slide.
