Child giving expensive gift

DSD(10) got a necklace earlier this year which her friend really loved and had asked for the same one for christmas, they have both been really excited about having matching ones.

Her friend didn't get the necklace and DSD has asked if she can buy her friend the necklace which costs £125 for her birthday in a few weeks. She can afford to do this if she wants but I think it's too much for a child to spend on a present and it will be awkward for the friend and her parents as they either couldn't afford to buy it themselves or didn't want their dd to have it.

Do other parents agree it would be unreasonable for a child to buy such an expensive gift for a friend?

Will suggest some other form of matching jewellry and tell dp that all other parents seem to have agreed with me that it would be inappropriate.

How about jewellery or friendship bracelet kits then they can make each other something or make the same thing?
