That can be a tough one. I have had that happen in the past and I went and bought the person a gift but, it did not feel right because it was not from the heart (if that makes sense). I am a random gift giver. If I see something that I know a friend will like, I buy it for them and I expect/want nothing in return. I enjoy finding that meaningful gift for a friend any time of the year. Sorry, I know I am not giving you solid advice on this. Like I said, you are in a tough situation. Have you prayed about it? What does your heart tell you to do?
, then do what you think is best)
Hi flowerof3
If a person told me that they had the perfect gift for me I would tell them in a loving way that I had not planned to buy them anything,and when you are honest in truth and the person knows that you meant exactly what you said the next time they will know what to expect;they will know what to expect anytime they ask or suggest something.The honest truth is hard for people to give to other people because they don't want to hurt peoples feelings,When the truth (in my opinion) is a godly trait.

It depends. Sometimes I've said, "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't get you anything..." and then I trail off, and their response is almost always, "Oh, pfftt that's fine! I wasn't expecting anything, I just saw this and immediately thought of you so I bought it."
Many people don't necessarily expect gifts in return, though that also depends on the type of relationship you have with that person.
