My guy takes gifts verrrrrry seriously so I wouldn't have to worry about this.
I wasn't a gift person but have learned that gifts are important to him and now they're important to me. We both put a lot of time and effort into our gifts to each other. I would feel disrespected if he bought me something crappy b/c it would make him an inconsiderate hypocrite.
And that's never okay whether we're talking about gifts or something else.
I don't buy gifts for anyone besides my significant other so I don't care what those people give me. If I don't like it, I'll say "thanks" and give it away or something. My family and friends aren't gift exchanger types, anyway.
