He says that the worth attached to these gifts by those who receive them is generally considerably less than what the gift-giver spends on them. Professor Waldfogel illustrated his talk with slides. He responded to questions from members of the audience at the University of Pennsylvania Bookstore in Philadelphia at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday November 17, 2009.
