A 'love triange'...can someone offer advice?

Your story sounds sooooooooo familar. The same thing happened to me. The friend, the presents, the emails. As for the friend goes you said first you like him. So to me he is fair game. This is not someone you never had feelings for. So whoever is meant to be together will be together. Good Luck and do what your heart says. Oh and for what happened to me???? I married him. The best move i have ever made in my life:)
