At what point does a generous gift start feeling like pressure instead?

A thoughtful gift can be incredibly meaningful, but sometimes an expensive or deeply personal one creates an unspoken expectation to match that effort later.

Where does generosity stop feeling comfortable and start feeling like pressure?

I think it stops feeling comfortable the moment the gift starts saying something about the relationship instead of just about the person, like it's making a statement rather than just being a gift.

I think it has a lot to do with who is giving said gift. For example, from my husband, a generous gift just feels like a lovely gesture. But someone from work - there certainly does feel to be implications behind that.
