To feel embarrassed by birthday gift?

I feel so embarrassed ...

It was DDs 8th birthday on Friday and two of her friends have birthdays the same week so yesterday we arranged to meet a couple of her friends and their parents at a local attraction (within the rule of 6).

The girls exchanged cards and each of them had money inside. I had given both other girls £5 each along with some sweeties.

My DD received £10 from both of her friends 😳 .

My DD thanked them and nothing was said by either children or parents but I feel very guilty.

For context , one child’s parents are in high flying jobs, the other is mid income and I am very low income.

Would you be bothered if this was your child? I can’t shake the shame !

My daughter would have loved to get sweets along with money she would be over the moon.
