Christmas presents

Went out with a couple we met a few years ago. Not particularly close but might see them monthly. They brought us christmas gifts. We had no discussion if we were exchanging gifts so hadn't brought any. Now I feel awful and if we get them something now it will look life an after thought. Should I get a belated gift or leave it on the thought that this is the way they do christmas and gracefully accept them.

I would leave it in the hope that they don’t repeat it next year.

Just leave it. They gave you a gift, that's nice of them but it was not expected. Just let it go. Don't stress about it.

Pay for drinks or the meal next time you go out?
