I've always been uncomfortable with both giving and receiving gifts. On the giving end, there's so much (self-created) pressure to get the "right" gift, and such elation in the rare instances when an inspired choice presents itself. On the receiving end, there's the discomfort/disappointment that inevitably arises from the majority of gifts. Your analysis helps me understand some of the underlying reasons. Thanks.
