I think there can be something lovely in an inscribed gift, the memories it brings back when you come across it yourself - but yes, I suppose if it's at all mischosen, there does come an element of emotional blackmail too. Still, the main reason I so seldom do it is fear that they might already have the item and wish to trade in the new one for something else.
