LOL... too funny!
My mom is the worst at leaving price tags in.... but its not because she wants to brag about the cost of the item (knowing mom she got anywhere from 25%-75% off it anyway) she leaves the tags on because she forgets to take them off. I too am somewhat guilty of that. I bought my daughters jewelry boxes - small little ones covered in black ultra-suede. I paid a whopping $1.33 for them. One box I remembered to take the tag off before wrapping, the other one still had the $15.00 original tag (thank goodness they knew nothing of my major sales coup, only the original price!
That reminds me, their other aunt bought them these HIDEOUS silver baroque style jewelry boxes. They are gaudy to the extreme. Inside she loaded it with cheapo jewelry from the Goodwill and such. She never even cleaned the jewelry... its got that goopey green stuff on it from not being cleaned!
As for the gifts being bad or not... if the photo paper were given to ME, it would be appropriate since I am forever using photo paper to print out the photos I'm doing portraits of. I actually prefer the cheapo stuff because then I don't feel bad when I run off 10 copies of the same photo only to trash it the next day. but for it to be the ONLY gift given to a 17 year old? Even my mom had a comment about it when she visited me today. She felt bad for Ash and said next year I need to give SIL a printed list of what they want and where to buy it.
