I bought a friend a gift recently. Her response? ¡°You should have just given me the money because I really need it.¡± A few years ago, I was going to buy another friend an expensive pair of shoes and she convinced me not to because she said she could buy 10 pairs from a discount store for the amount I was planning to spend.

I love giving gifts during the holidays and for birthdays, and enjoy choosing things I think my friends might like or need. I hate giving money! Isn¡¯t part of the gift-giving experience for the giver, too?

I feel it should be my choice to buy whatever I want for someone, and their response should just be, ¡°Thank you.¡± It irks me when people dictate to me what I should give them. Am I just being a control freak, or do I have the wrong idea of gift-giving? - GIFT GIVER IN TEXAS

DEAR GIFT GIVER: A thoughtful gift giver selects things the recipient can use and enjoy. A grateful recipient doesn¡¯t look a gift horse in the mouth and say she¡¯d prefer the cash.

However, the woman who convinced you not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of designer shoes she might not be able to return was, I think, doing both of you a favor.

While it¡¯s your prerogative to give whatever you want to whomever you want, don¡¯t you think it makes more sense to bestow something the person can use and enjoy than to satisfy your ego?
