Say your friend A bought you a present on your birthday. Then long after the birthday, you gathered with your friends including A and were talking casually and A mentions the gift they had bought for you. . . After a while, on another occasion, A mentions that gift again and tells you that they had bought you a present. . . After some time on another occasion, he mentions it again and makes you annoyed about the gift.
What word would you use for the process of mentioning the gift persistently?
An example sentence would go like:
A bought a present for me and then "…WORD…"ed it on every occasion
A phrase or an idiom would also do.

It depends on the gift giver's intent, but could he have been "holding it over" you or "lording it over" you?
Either way, he "never let you forget" that he once gave you that gift. And you may "never hear the end of it."
