> sometimes people are not used to receiving gifts and they might be “overgenerous” in return because they got flustered…” This is something I had not considered to be honest, but is a great point and something I shall take on board. |

It basically works like this:
1. I receive a gift of 50$ usually spent very sub-optimally.
2. Now I have to spend ~50$ buying a gift in turn.
The end result: someone buying me gift for 50$ is equivalent to forcing a bad 50$ purchase upon me OR forcing me to feel bad and potentially be perceived as ungrateful/unreciprocating.
