I would have bought what was specifically asked for. Yes, I know it's the thought that counts and you didn’t have to buy anything at all, but the fact is you asked and you implied you might get that truck from that store. She probably knows she can get a fire truck from anywhere, but she told you a specific store. I’m not a parent, but I can understand wanting to please or go all out for someone. When you have children, you’ll probably encounter this situation and end up in her shoes.
I'm not sure how your friend sounded and maybe her attitude wasn't that great. She may have been upset because she planned on this specific truck being the main item she wanted to give her son for Christmas. Find out her reasons for being upset. If you have known her since high school, you don't want something so small to ruin your friendship.
When I was younger, I wanted the whole group of Barbie and the Rockers. I asked different family members to get me a different member. In the end, I didn't get the whole group but got those other fake me out plastic dolls instead. I was upset and 20 something years later I'm still holding a grudge.
