Townhall.com: Andrew Tallman: Why Do We Give Bad Christmas Gifts?

Yuletide pressures, in case you didn't feel enough already: "Bad gifts are a burden precisely because they show your lack of love for the recipient. The prerequisite of love is knowledge. You cannot love whom you do not know. Thus, a gift shows love when it demonstrates a real knowledge of who someone is and what he desires. Bad gifts are evidence of a bad relationship because they demonstrate that you do not know enough about this person to be capable of giving a good gift."
