My friend didn't do anything for my birthday?

So today was my birthday and one of my good friends didn't do anything. I didn't want her to get me a gift, but she didn't say anything until all my other friends remembered. I would have been happy with a "happy birthday!" or have her sing to me for 20 seconds but she didn't do that. :/ Also, for her birthday, I got her a $30+ gift, wrapped it nicely and got her a card.I also asked a month at least in advance to see what she wanted. And I know a lot of people will call me spoiled or that she didn't get me anything because she has money issues, but she doesn't. She got a new iPhone a month ago, went to the Giants game 1 week ago and she's the only child (both parents working). I would have been happy with a 40 cent card from the dollar store, or a homemade card. How long does it take for a person to make a card out of printer paper and crayons for a good friend??? I didn't want a gift or some big celebration, but I wanted her to at least make me feel appreciated by wishing me a happy birthday. Also last year, she gave me 2 $2 nail polishes (used) and wrapped it with newspaper and stuffed in a grocery bag and I got her her favorite book.

    Well it's understandable. Good friends should remember your birthday. It sucks she didn't, mine didn't last year either. Then I realised they were bad friends and found new ones who do remember. But if she gave you USED nailpolishes (which is actually pretty disgusting, would've been better to give you nothing,) then why are you getting her such expensive gifts over $30? I mean I'm not saying she gets you crap so you get her crap, but it seems like she's taking advantage of you and you're allowing it?

    It sounds like either your friend is very selfish or she isn't your friend at all. I would stick to hanging out with your other friends (who seem to actually care about you), but if you have to continue being friends with her put in as much effort as she does (only spend $4 on her next year or something.)
