How not to treat good neighbours

So I’ve always been on friendly terms with my neigbour we say hi and stuff when we see each other and they got my son Christmas gifts. Anyway back in May I was convinced I heard them celebrating the start of Ramadan in there garden one night. So I thought about what I could do for them as a kind gesture. I looked online and found out you can send food hampers so that’s what I did. Turned up at the door with a box full of goodies turns out they are Sikh and so they don’t even celebrate it!! The lady was lovely and said I wouldn’t of known. Still felt like an uneducated idiot It was just her son and his friends hanging out in the garden. So here’s me stood there with this big box wanting the floor to open sweating and shaking like mad. The lady says what a lovely thought it was and the only way she could accept is if I take something back so in the mist of panicking Instead of taking something shit like the cooking oil I take the nice chocolate and run. That just made things worse. They've now moved not saying if it’s because of the hamper situation or not.
