She didn't react as you wanted but then again why did you choose to give such an expensive gift in the first place?  Was it because she really wanted them or because you really wanted her undying gratitude?

The OP has already mentioned why she gave her the Ugg boots. (quote) 'her mum could never afford them so I wanted to treat her, I thought she'd be delighted as all girls love Uggs? and I know she's wanted a pair for a while' (unquote).

PPP. Next year show your ungrateful neice your disinterest, by giving her a packet of Haribos - unwrapped.
