I always wonder why relatives can't ask parents or the birthday boy himself about what he expects to get? Don't tell me that it ruins the surprise. It's always better to get the thing you expect so much instead of a useless game or another gift adults consider good for you.

In this case that's what the OP did.
Parents didn't have a clue and nephew ignored a WhatsApp message.
His birthday was at the end of last year.
