So I called her and she just goes "Oh yeah Happy Birthday," and its been one week no present. Her Birthday is a week after mine and coming up like tommor..so what would you do??? Comments please!!!

If you want to be a person of character, wish her a happy birthday and give her something, but keep it small, not big or expensive gift. Some people are just forgetful and don't intentionally fail to acknowledge special occasions. She will likely feel embarrassed if she has a conscience that you remembered her. I've thrown parties for people and never got anything in return.

So goes life, it's not about fairness or making things equal.

And, happy belated birthday!!!
I wouldn't get her a present, you should just get her a card. Either she forgot and didn't get you a present which is pretty bad friendship on her part; which means why should you get her anything. Or she maybe didn't have any money and couldn't afford to get you anything which means if you get her a present she may just feel more guility.

A card it probably the best way to go.

Also, happy belated birthday.
I agree with sisophous. Giving only a card looks like a signal that she didn't earned a present this year, because she forgot/could not give you any.
If you will give her only a card you will prove your an asshole. Give her something, just like you wanted (?) to give, then have a great time. This can only turn out good for ya. Friendship will be stronger, and maybe with time she realizes what she did ( or rather did not;) ),and will try to make it up to you.

Happy belated birthday
Consider picking up a stuffed animal or a box of chocolates. Most girls never get enough of that stuff. Or, flowers if she is into you, otherwise pass on the flowers. I know the disappointment of being overlooked but you'll feel better giving something rather than nothing. And, if you go your separate ways or your friendship ends abruptly, you didn't lose anything in the long run.

Some girls deliberately don't give if they have other intentions in mind, like splitting up or someone else on their mind. You still lose nothing by keeping it small.

#1- Cry A river ( cause no one really cares )
