What does it say about a relationship if this was happening?

Like around holidays I always bought my girlfriend stuff but she always had to have her mom buy me stuff. Keep in mind me both have jobs I would save for her stuff. Like no joke never was the stuff bought by her and if it was it was the cheapest stuff possible. Like last year I got her Ariana grande perfume and she gave me a bunch of random five below stuff that ultimately she ended up using because she wanted it for herself
