You keep making this point and it does annoy me somewhat.
They have a social obligation, not to convince him to spend, but to WARN him that they are going to.
How would you feel if a brother/sister/friend turned up you a parents/friend's birthday with a £500 gift when you had all already agreed to spend say £10?
You would be totally justified in not spending the money but you would still feel guity and annoyed at the other person for not warning you first.
