What is the history of giving flowers as a gift?
'la commercialisation' it the process of marketing products.
You can't make someone take a gift. If the reason they are declining it is because they are being modest or they have no gift to you and feel bad, you can remind them that the person giving the gift is just as blessed by that act as the one receiving it. But you should never try to make someone feel guilty about it or make them feel obligated.
Not all people; it you just don't feel like giving a gift this year, then you should.
Gift-giving is a great way to let people know you are thinking about them and want them to be happy. It is also a good way to let them know you love them (as friends or as more than friends), and makes people feel special, thought of, and cared for.
One should not expect anything. If you feel like giving a gift, then fine.

Giving favors after a baby shower shows the guests appreciation for attending. Giving a small gift of any kind makes the guests feel special.
Buddhists are people too, and so I think it depends on the person you are giving the gift too. Some branches of Buddhism do not put boundaries on what kinds of things are acceptable, and so it would depend on the kind of BUddhist your friend is. Ultimately, gift giving is a kind of action that transcends boudaries and any person who does not feel appreciation for a gift is already breaking Buddhist values. If the gift is from the heart, i don't see why it would not be a good gift.
