My best friend gave me $150 for my birthday and treated me to a pretty expensive lunch. I was in literal shock. She gave me the card with the money and told me not to open it until I got home, I guess so I couldn't turn it down which I literally would have. It was insane! We've been friends for like 25 years, and in all that time, our gifts have been like little things we've both liked or like $50 gift cards at the most.
It's now her birthday and like, I don't have $150 to just drop on her. I'm taking her to a modest lunch and getting her some flowers and a small cake, but I am feeling the guilt sweats!!!! I'm trying to tell myself, it's fine, it's totally fine, it's fine, don't worry, but I don't want her to feel like "oh, that's what you got me." (She's not that type of person, but my overactive imagination and guilt are riding me hard, okay!!!!)
What would you do?
