That sucks, I would just politely ask her, "So, did you go to the North Pole to get this or do you owe me $19?"
hehe

I would be gracious in spite of it. There is not need to cause strife in the relationship over a material gift. You have to work with this person and it's simply not worth it to get all upset over material things. Who knows what she was thinking. Maybe it was a misunderstanding on her part and she probably feels bad enough that her gift to you wasn't nearly as nice as yours to her. Just let it go and thank her.

Sound kinda grounchy and greedy, don'tcha? I mean, c'mon, Christmas isn't about gettin'...it's about GIVING! And remember, if everything was tit for tat, we'd all have a one-way ticket to the same place that Satan has a ticket to...wouldn't that be a treat =C!

Yup. You should have waited. "Good things come to those who wait."
Well, most folks, anyway.
