Hey. I can understand why you'd feel that way... But she may not have a lot of money? And what kind of keychain? Maybe it was something special that reminded her of you. I'm sorry it happened to you... But remember, it's the thought that counts... -hearts-

Girl, I think that you should return the gift for reel cuz if your girl is gonna play you like that, then that's not right at all. My best friend gave me this necklace that I thought was really nice, but later i saw the price tag was on it!!! It was $3.99!!I got so maddddd because i went to the mall and bought her a nice bath and body works set for $22.00. But if I had'nt already gave it to her, I would've returned it or kept it cuz that's not right.

maybe she is down on money. i mean her family might be having problems that you dont know about. and i mean its the thought that counts here not the gift! she might go out and buy you some other stuff when she found out that you got her something really good

get her something else and bring the other thing back .. tell her GOTTCHA ! and you thought i was guna gett you a ___ lol
hope i helped

Well first you should look at how big her family is. Maybe she had to buy them gifts too and that was all she had left. Also maybe she didn't have that much money at all. But remember its the thought that counts and you should be happy she is your friend. But maybe you should just talk to her if you feel realy mad

it's the thought that counts. smile and be happy when you get it.

i can see why you upset i would be too! but it's not the present it's the thought that counts! but if your really that upset i would talk to her and tell her how you feel! you never know her family could be low on money or something could be going on! good luck and happy holidays!

You have the right to be mad. My brother had this secert santa thing and all he got was a yoyo. When she gives you the gift be graceouis. Say thank you and that crap. Just be ppolite and put your keys on it. Just don't show that you're mad. I hope I helped!

Some times its just one of those things hint other things that she could get you as well as that.but if she is really skint it will make her feel bad.

Yeah... thats pretty beat up. On your part I mean. So what! she got you a 3 dollar key chain... Thats sweet enough. Ever heard the expression "It's the thought that counts"??????
She's your best friend! What were you expecting???? a diamond ring? Well, tough. Grow up. Money's not everything, ya know.

Oh Dear!!
This tends to happen quite a lot.
I understand how hurt you must feel - try talking to your friend about it and explain why you feel so upset. I mean I'm sure it's not an issue of cost but the thought behind the gift. She went out and picked a random something for you whereas you put a lot of thought into her gift.
As I said, I would definitely try and talk to her about this - if you feel you don't want to then me and my friends have a great way of buying gifts at christmas and birthdays.
There are 4 of us - Myself, Liss, Juanita and Cheryl. We all put £10 in for each person then we'll all get together and buy a joint present for example - I get a gift that is jointly from Juanita, Cheryl and Liss. Juanita gets a gift jointly from Me, Juanita and Cheryl...etc etc. This is great because it means you get 3 times as much though go into the present thatn if just 1 person bought it, and it also means you get to go shopping with your best friends!! What more could you ask for!!
Take Care!

that stinks. it happened to me this christmas w/ gift exchanges at school, i got all my close friends things and i only got two gifts from friends, but whatever.because in the end, i know i made my friends happy and there still my friends, and gifts dont make the friends. and its the thought that counts, eh?

I guess exept the key chain but, i feel bad for u, u spent a long time finding her a nice gift and she acts like this is nothing but think about it maybe shes on a low budget she thinks its awesome theres always posabilitys. So keep your hopes up maybe she wants to get somthing big for the next holiday or your birthday and shes saving up. <3 American Girl

Well its normal to be mad and all but you could also buy her a cheeper presant next time. But i dont think it should matter, you said she desreved it and well its the month of giving... and or you could also ask her if you could give each other new years gift.
H.I.H.

yes you do have a right to be mad. I think what you should do is confront her about it and tell her how you feel. Say, i feel a little hurt because i spent a lot of time to find a nice present for you and not to sound rude but you got me a little keychain. she could not have aenuff money to buy you a nice present though, on the other hand. She could have saw someting she thought you would really like, but didnt' have enuff money for it, if thats the case then you can't really be too mad.

Well, if it had a good meaning behind the gift then you shouldn't be mad. If it was a crap gift that she just got because she didn't know what else to get you, then it's understandable that you are upset. I'd be pissed if I spent time and money on a person that didn't seem to care about me. Maybe just ask her about the gift to see the reason behind it and next year don't give her as great of a gift. Then again christmas is about giving and not receiving. You can't really be all that greedy although I do understand your point of view.
