Guilt Gift

When your alcoholic father goes on a inebriated rage and the next day he feels guilty and buys you something of great value.

One night:
Your dad: "IM GONNA KILL YOU!"
You: "NO DADDY NO!"
The next day:
Your dad: "Hey im sorry about last night champ, guess what? Were going to go to Disney World!"
You: "Dad, this is just another Guilt Gift..."

Gift-Guilting

An act of somebody buying you an expensive gift with the aim of guilting you into buying a gift of same value for them in return.

Damn, Anthony is gift-guilting me into buying him something expensive after he bragged about buying me some Tiffany jewelry for Christmas! I had to match him!
