All IMO! You need to be very very careful when you see sweeties in the sweetie shop! Whatever you do, you need to be careful not to appear needy. So, good you recognized this slip but be mindful of the need to maintain your vigilence!
I have found the pressie issue tricky too and you'll find all angles on it on this board. How do you normally deal with pressies on these occasions - are you a thoughtful, hearts and flowers guy or utilitarian flowers and tea-cloths chap?
