Ungrateful friend? AIBU?

A friend of mine knew that I had a pregnant friend. The two friends do not know each other.

Friend 1, through me, offered friend 2 a substantial bit of baby related equipment, not cheap. Offer was accepted. I collected the item and passed it on.

Friend 2 did not offer to give anything to friend 1. Am not talking money or anything, but I would have thought a bottle of wine etc would have been offered when I handed the item over . I have actually been so embarrassed about this that I gave friend 1 a bottle of wine and a toy for their baby to say thank you. AIBU?

I think I send thank you cards or sometimes just a thank you text. Not a bottle of wine. And I'd not really expect one, and would rather not have wine (that I can't drink) or flowers (that DP is allergic to) cluttering up the house. But I think etiquette varies in different social circles.
