Birthday gift or not
If a childhood friend (who lives far away but we keep in touch somewhat by email) sent you a birthday gift from her business and included her business card would you feel obligated to send her a gift for her birthday or is a birthday card enough? I don't like doing gift exchanges anyway.
When I saw her a few years ago, she was trying to sell me items from the business she was in at the time. What do you think?

most of the time when a friend really likes you as a friend. they don't try just to sell you stuff. She is promoting her business and hoping you will buy. Just send a card since you don't keep in that good of contact anyways. A real friend calls you and says Hi how are you, I miss talking to you. that is what my friends do.
you do what you feel comfortable with.
personally I would just send a card.

That's what I'd do, too. And if she's miffed that you don't buy her a gift, she won't give you one next year & you won't have this same dilemma then.
