I really don't mind being given gifts. I appreciate them when it's on a special day, like my birthday, or Christmas. If I was randomly given a gift, I'd be surprise, and sometimes I wouldn't dare accept them. Like this one time at work, I didn't had enough money for a drink, and one of my co-workers offered to pay my drink, something like a gift I guess. I rejected the offer, but she still went through with it anyway. So, I guess I was thankful for the drink.
