I got her a robe. It was a nice robe, a hundred dollar robe. But she got me a thousand dollar guitar. Should I get her something to make up for it???

Your gift was from your heart, right? Christmas is not a competition. We give gifts to commemorate the gifts the magi gave the Christ child. They honored him. You honored your sister. Enough. Express your gratitude for her generosity. If you can afford it, and it is in your heart to do so, be more generous next year.

Nothing at all because Christmas isn't about who got who the more expensive present.... it's the thought behind it.... I'm sure that your sister really appreciates the robe.... but if it would make you fell better take her on a Ladies day out maybe to get you hair and nails done!

Look, perhaps she could use the robe; but then you may have had your eye on the guitar and she wanted to do something to make you feel good; If you feel the need to make up for it, do so; but remember it is the thought that counts. Peace.

No. I am sure she is fine with the robe. On her B-day spend more money on a big gift or something. If you go and buy her more stuff it will make her feel bad cause it made you feel bad cause her gift seemed better.. Just spend money on her bday gift adn it will even things out.

Talk with her and mention that you appreciate the present and that by all means that you will do something very special for her. Don't run out and get her a gift...because I think she really did it from the heart. Maybe her financial situation was better than yours, maybe she wanted to surprise and shock, and wow you. I can tell you are certainly surprised. Return the favor and do something special for her by surprising her. Is her birthday approaching, some special anniversary, special day? If so do it for one of those days. If she has nothing special that you know of...shock her anyway...plan a trip for her. You two have a beautiful relationship....I don't think it's about money at all....Christmas is about Jesus birth, and family. Remember it's more blessed to give than to receive. Your sister is a very blessed woman. Be in courage in Jesus name!

Gifts are not rated by the amount spent but the thought and the feeling that is shared. If affordable, try getting her something for any other occasion that comes up in the near future. "DONOT give her anything this New Years Eve else she will think you gave it to her just to make up the amount she spent"

If you want to. It's really a question of personal opinion- can you be content if you percieve the scales to be unbalanced? If she likes it, she shouldn't care what it cost. At least, that's my opinion.
Of course, you could thank her profusely, apologize for not getting her an equally expensive thing, and see what she says. Based on her answer, you should be able to tell what to do.

Next year, the two of you should set a dollar amount and stick to it. Merry Christmas.

It happens. Usually the older gets the younger a better gift at least that's my family's culture.

Send her a nice thank you for the gift and make up for it for her birthday. What's done it done!
