He gave me an expensive present..
I'm 15 and there is this boy that I like at school, we're not together or anything though.
Anyway, I bought Christmas presents for a few of the boys in my english class (including him), spending just over £2 on each of them (they all got the same thing). The next day he gave me a present back (even though I'd said he didn't have to) and it was a £10 box of chocolates. I feel bad that he's spent so much more than I did and also treated me differently to other people (he didn't buy anyone else a present..).
I'm not really sure what to do now or whether I should suggest that we maybe meet up at some point in the Christmas holidays? We're both quite shy people so I don't want to make anything awkward.

Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Indeed, let's forget all about cash value here. This guy who bought you the £10 chocs, and didn't buy gifts for any other girls? Do you like him, and I mean specially like him? Or is he just a mate, like the others you bought gifts for? I reckon what you do hinges totally on this question. If he's special...thank him for a lovely gift. And definitley arrange a little time together. Anything. A look at the January sales and a drink and a bite to eat in town? Watch a movie with him, at home or the cinema? Anything. My reaction is that he's maybe shy, but likes you a lot and he'll be wishing like crazy that his gift will get a response. So respond!! Are you worried that he's looking at your gift and thinking "Huh...she didn't spend much on me...I can't mean much to her." Forget it. If he likes you (like I reckon he likes you) he won't give a damn...he'll treasure it. Thoughts like that will only creep if if you let the momentum of his gift-giving run down and go cold. Seize the moment, my friend...if you like him. Happy Xmas!

You don't need to feel bad about him getting something that was more expensive than what you got him. It's honestly the thought that counts, not how much money was spent on it, plus it's just chocolates, not hundreds on jewelry so don't feel bad, feel happy.
But since you like him, you should definitely suggest that you guys should hang out some time over the holiday. It'll only be awkward if you make it awkward so just go talk to him and then near the end of the conversation just tell him that you guys should hang out over Christmas break.

Gifts and money is not what the holidays are about.
It's the thought that counts, Not competing to see who does better spending money. If the kid likes you, He likes YOU not your money and not your gifts.
You are missing the point..
If it makes you feel better then getting something small but again, It isn't about who spent more etc.
