It depends. If someone goes out of their way to buy you something, especially for you, and tries giving it to you, you should take the gift and thank them. If you were to say no to them and tell them to go get their money back, that's kind of humiliating on their part. But if they try giving you something such as money, then yes, it is okay to tell them politely that you do not wish to take their hard earned money.
No, the recipient NEVER pays gift tax. Gifts are not income and not taxable. However, the person GIVING you the gift may have to pay gift tax on the value of the house that exceeds the annual exclusion of $15,000. They may be better off gifting you a partial ownership over several years, where each part is worth less than $15,000. If the gift is from your spouse, there is no gift tax.
