I know someone who got all his “chosson gifts” on the last day he was able to see his kallah (1 week before the chasunah). At that point he already assumed that he was not getting anything and his parents offered to by him a talis. turned out they weren’t stingy in-laws, just major procrastinators. (Also was a bit silly to get so many gifts all at once.) But my point is, he was perfectly OK when he thought he was getting nothing from them, because he knew he was getting all he really needed/wanted -his kallah! And besides, you don’t really know why someone isn’t buying you something unless they told you outright!
