Would have expected higher quality gifts. The cheap collar on that T-shirt says dollar store quality. Should have been at least a polo shirt with embroidered logo.

Nobody is entitled to anything and Apple hasn't got any obligation to offer anything.
That said if you are going to have some gifts offer something worth keeping and that people would be proud to keep and remember.
