It seems to me that it is felt to return a gift after receiving one because you respect the person. They did something for you, so why shouldn't you do something for them? In our society it has gotten out of control with holidays, Christmas in particular. But in a normal situation of gift giving it is a natural urge to give something back.
On the question of a free gift I think that there is no such thing, and that isn't a bad thing. Giving gifts is a way to show our love or appreciation for someone, why would we want to stop them from doing the same thing? Not so that you receive something, but so that they can also give something.
