I actually think NTA, it was just a miscommunication or mistake, if she can exchange for different ones that’s the best solution, but it’s no one’s fault that you already have the ones she got, you’re only the a hole if you made her feel like shıt for it

NTA for feeling unseen, you have feeling and so does she. You both will move on. But also try to understand she tried. Accept it as is, talk to her and make it clear you like how she listened and sees you like smth but maybe want to go return it together and pick a new one out then get her a sweet treat? Shows her smth good for doing better behavior

I know I am, I feel like it, I told her about the posters beforehand before thanksgiving when I was home for break, I don’t think she remembered which ones I had already bought. She’s going to try and cancel the order and get her money back, but if not I’m still grateful for them (I never said I was ungrateful for them in the first place)

it'll be okay, we're all TA sometimes. tell your mom you love her, give her a hug, say your sorry, and express you're still grateful— if you haven't already 🫂

*like we’re rude about it, but a polite I already have these is not a holey, still you should express gratitude for the thought and let her know you still appreciate the gift
