    Obviously, the assumption is one spouse supplies all the money, housing, trips, etc., while the other receives adoration and gifts. It’s the huge social stereotype some of us are expected and/or forced to play out.

      I think the point is that it’s unrealistic to get someone a 60k gift unless you’re upper class.

        …Unless one makes the above assumption. A long time ago, this was the way it actually was. Back in the 1950-1970 range the man was expected to do this things for his wife, though usually on a smaller scale.
