gollark: Thus, replace gifting with personalised product recommendations (unless you get unique things which would be hard to get on the open market).
gollark: However, if the costs of the gifts are roughly the same, you should avoid transferring the money to skip hassle and transaction costs.
gollark: Since that's mean, you should simply give them recommendations plus money.
gollark: If you get someone a thing, you may as just recommend the thing and give them money for it, which is strictly better in that it gives you more choices, *unless* you deliberately want to constrain their options for whatever reason.
gollark: And my general argument against gifts applies here too, of course.
