Indian Receiver 

To give the giver back the gift they gifted to you
Hey, Thanks for giving me back that gift I got you! I had thought it was the best present ever and I actually wanted one for myself, but once I gave it to you I couldn't ask for it back because then I'd be the Indian Receiver.

Indian Receiver 

Etymological similar to Indian Giver, in which the act of gifting is rescinded. The Indian Receiver will return gifts received. Typically done in situations that the act of gifting is corrupted somehow, such as when the gift is a means to an end, to entreat favors, to coerce, and/or blackmail. Such gifts are more burden than boon, something perceived by the Indian Receiver.
“Isha is such an Indian Receiver. Every time I giver her a gift to emotionally blackmail her she gives it back. Can you believe the nerve of that girl?!”
