ExcitedEYE Unique Gift Shopping

For my birthday last month I threw a small get-together with some friends. One of my friends attended and gave me a birthday gift. Her birthday is in a few weeks, but she is not having a get-together. She lives about an hour away and is doing something private with her family. Is it proper etiquette for me to purchase (and mail) a birthday gift for her, as well? We have known each other for a few years and just recently got in touch again a few months ago.

A friend of mine in his mid-30s is graduating from a Masters program that he’s been taking at night. We’ve been invited to a graduation party for him. What is the proper etiquette in terms of gifts? Do you get a gift? Just a card? If a gift, what kind of gift?
