I bought and sent a friend of mine an H&M £20 gift voucher for her birthday. I rang her that night to wish her a Happy Birthday. She never mentioned about my voucher, so I asked her if she got it. She said, "Yeah, but I couldn't be bothered to ring to let you know".

Rude .. maybe - ungrateful... yes - Do not worry as you have done the right thing by sending a friend a gift. You conscious should be clear & content.
Give me her address so I can send a some dogs poo via the post as a scratch & sniff present.

Yes, I think that is rude behaviour.
For her to say that she couldn't be bothered ringing sends a message to you that she does not appreciate the effort and generosity behind your gift of the voucher, nor does she seem to value your friendship very highly.
It would have been courteous for her to ring you on receipt of the voucher to thank you for your gift. Courtesy between friends is a manifestation of the basic respect all human beings should have each other. Anything that is disrespectful to a fellow human being is rude, and that's why the lack of courtesy in her behaviour towards you is rude.

Yes, I think your friend was rude. However, I don't think you can immediately brand her as a rude person just on this one instance (unless there were other times). I'm sure your friend didn't mean to come off as super offensive. Hmmm, but I see your point...It was pretty rude. Twas a lovely thought for you send her a gift for her birthday though, kudos.

yeah that's a bit rude you went out of you way to think about your friend , she should be grateful and thank you for the present
as for not calling you back if she my not be the type of person to call to let you know or forgot but saying "she not bothered" is very rude to a friend saying she has not the time of day for you.

YES ~ your "friend" is not a "friend". She is very rude, and needs to grow up. She should be thankful that she has a "friend" like you, and she may find out that she won't have very many friends in the future. I'm sorry that you got a slap in the face. Choose you friends better. Good luck!

Don't take any further time with this person. The absolute least you could do is a quick phone call or text to say thanks.
The hell with her, next time spend £20 on yourself and say happy birthday mentally.

Maybe she meant it as a joke? Either way it was still an extremely rude thing to say... And it was rude not to ring and thank you in the first place... Is she usually like that? Maybe she's off with you about something?

Yes very rude and horrible. Don't bother getting her anything again if she is going to be that mean. If someone did that to me I would be quite hurt. She doesn't deserve to have good friends like you.

Yes it would be common courtesy to thank a person for a gift. What is worse is that when prompted she let you know her lack of regard.
This is a girl seriously lacking in social skills.
