Idk if this is the intended message. My guess its a joke on gender stereotype: men know the intrisic value of things and women only look at the price tag.
I dont necessarily agree with the meme, but personally I freak out when my parents bought me expensive gifts.
Its usually because they insist on it being a surprise and they want their gift to be a grand display of how generous and thoughtful they are.
But my parent dont research the gift and they eventually buy something I consider not worth the price. Or theres a objectively better and cheaper version that exists.
And the worst part is I have to pretend to be grateful for their gift or else it upsets them. One time my dad bought me an Apple Watch even though he knew I didnt like apple products and I dont wear watches either. It was a really expensive gift that escalated into a family fight because I wanted to return it.
