ah c'mon, we've all been burned. That's because women are inherently evil. For the record.
Personally I think that gifts can be really sweet, when you surprise someone you love with something meaningful. I bought one of my girlfriends a book that looked interesting when I knew she was bored out of her mind in her hometown, then hid it in her closet before I left. Another time I bought a little figurine of a faery and wrote a poem about her faery-self.
What I've seen is a dynamic where one partner will constantly buy stuff for the other, and they don't really appreciate it, but it continues because it seems like an easy way to validate the relationship. Obviously material things are immaterial to what a relationship is really about, and money can't buy you love.
