Providing a counter-POV to the above poster:

Honestly, I rather like virtual gifts, and would be perfectly happy to see them -- as long as they were well-designed and not, you know, "Pepsi Zero!!!" or whatever. Flowers? Chocolate? Wine? Books? Maybe more esoteric things, like yarn swifts or sock blockers. I think they're cute and charming and they don't require a huge outlay of cash all at once, and I'd be thrilled to have them.
