spent a lot on friend's gift, she decided to be cheap this year?

usually my friend and i spend around 40 to 50 on gifts for one another. this year i found this really nice pyjama set to give her and it cost me close to 50 dollars.. so i already bought it and wrapped it and now shes telling me she is getting everyone cheap small gifts this year ... should i find her something smaller for a gift and keep the pyjamas? yes, im a horrible person >.> they are REALLY nice pyjamas lol

Update:

well the thing is also she is an old friend and we barely see each other anymore... i am always the one to initiate contact and we are really just drifting apart as friends..

    ive done that before ;) but it depends how close you are as friends, if your really close then you'll give her the pjs any way, because you know she'll love them and shes your close friend.

    if thats whay you want to do then yeah--but it shouldnt matter the size of the gift. its the thought that counts. maybe she is having financial problems and cant afford expensive gifts this year. it would be nice for her to receive something a little nicer if this is the case, to show her that you are not her friend for the gifts she gives you but because of the person she is. if you already planned on giving it to her then why not just give it to her. if you didnt know she was giving cheaper gifts this year you would have given them to her anyway-- just because you spend more than her doesnt mean you have to keep the gift and get her something cheap. i think you should give it to her.

    so are you going to return them and search for another gift all over again? All because she's not spending $50 on you too? Ask yourself this: Is her inability to spend $50 on you this year effecting how good of a friend she is to you?

    in that case it sounds like maybe you went over board on her gift. you could return it a buy a $25 gift card somewhere and that is still a nice gift.

    She sounds like she's giving all a head up! Things are tough 4 some,you already did the deed,be the better person & give it to her.She perhaps could use them.Once my Mom did that & got a cheaper gift, the other person felt ashamed & cry ed,not the point really but it shows you care % are not petty. $$$$

    Lol it really doesn't matter on the price of the gift its about caring for one another and showing the other person how much you care.Its better to give then receive i dont give my friends present because i accept something back in return i give it to them because i want them to know how much they mean to me.

    even from an unselfish point of view it could be awkward if u buy her a far more expensive gift than she buys you, or her friends buy her, or you buy your other friends. dont want favoritism to be an issue... if u like em keep em
