When I had carefully selected a nice component system for my first stereo and my parents bought a very subpar integrated instead. Not only was my selection better sounding, but I could have saved them $200USD as well.
I kept my disappointment to myself initially, but when I found out how much they'd paid for it I had to say something.
The next big ticket I was to receive as a gift from them I was given the opportunity to select it myself - apparently their son was a much better shopper for such items...
Other than that, I've not had any regrets as I always approach this stuff with the mind of a scientist.
