Glamorous,
I would suggest you give your friend the gift. That gift represents how much you care about her, right? So, be the bigger person and give it to her. The Prophet SAWS encouraged people to give gifts because it develops/maintains affection between people.....and by doing so......you can sometimes change the perspective of the person receiving the gift.
Don't jump to conclusions yet. You have no idea why you were not invited. Sometimes people prefer to invite various groups of friends separately....for compatibility reasons. Sometimes you just wanna hang out with your best friend alone......just u and her.......without the company of others. Maybe this whole invitation was a last minute plan. Or maybe the invitation was **NOT **your friend's idea.
Perhaps a group of girls came to your friend's house and and at the last minute these friends decided to take her out to dinner. And your friend felt uncomfortable inviting you because the dinner wasn't her idea to begin with. Or **maybe **these friends she went to dinner with don't really gel with you.....so she thought it was better to skip the invitation and hang out with u at a later time.
There are sooooo many possibilities, Glamorous. Just give your friend the gift you so lovingly bought. If this girl is a good friend over all and usually makes a sincere effort to spend time with you regularly......then I suggest you let this one slip-up go. There could be plenty of opportunities for you both to spend time together in the future.
Keep in mind......that sometimes we ALL need a break from the people we love most. I have friends that I'm reeeeaaaaally close to........but if i talked to them EVERYDAY.....I'd get bored. And if i hung out with them everyday......I'd get ANNOYED. There are days when I naturally prefer to hang out with a different group of people for a change. BUT that doesn't mean that I don't care about my close friends anymore. It doesn't mean that at all. Just means that I wanted a temporary change. People feel like mixing things up sometimes. For example, i may prefer to go to a concert with on particular friend. And next time, I might prefer to go to the movies with a completely different friend. That doesn't mean I've stopped like one friend of the other. It just means I want to mix things up.
Listen, if you and this girl have a **strong **friendship.....it would be a shame to destroy it over something minor like this.
On the other hand, if this girl has shown you an obvious PATTERN of being a crummy/shady friend......then it's better to maintain a distance from her.
But if overall she's been a good friend.....then don't destroy this:)
