I work for a foster care agency, so my experience is related to my job rather than personal experience. I know that some families get into trouble when they take new kids on big outings (like an amusement park) when they're new to the home. I think the same thing could happen with a huge amount of gifts. If the child knows nothing about your home and family, they may assume that every day is like christmas, or a huge fun event. I think it may work out better if you give the child a few things they need, or a special toy at the beginning. Then when it is a special occasion you can give more gifts, but it won't always be expected.
