Should I tell recipient I gave gift?

Hi, ladies!

So the other day, I went to a friend's baby shower. I had a small bag with cute onesies and a book, but then got this changing mattress thing that couldn't fit in a bag or what not but I wrapped it and put a label to say who it's to and who it's from. Well, I got into my car this morning and saw that that label fell off in my car and now she has a gift with no idea who gave it to her.
Do I tell her? I don't want to be all like "Hey, give me credit" but at the same time... I'm wondering if I should let it go or not. Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks, ladies!

I think you could definitely tell her. It was such an honest mistake, and she is probably wondering who it is from. I would just explain to her exactly what happened, and I'm sure she would understand and be appreciative that you let her know.

If it were a really close friend I would text her an image of the label, with a caption being like "Oops, look what I just found! It fell off the xyz. Sorry about that"

I would absolutely tell her the mishap. I don't think it's credit seeking. If I were the gift receiver I would want to properly thank you and I would feel TERRIBLE that I didn't know who the gift was from.

I would tell her, or get word to her through a hostess, if only that she could be taking a lot of time and effort to track down the person that gave her the changing mattress. You can just keep it lighthearted and low key.
