Others like a 'present' because it shows that someones taken the time to find something for them and they may get something that the might not usually have thought was a good purchase but turns out to be a good product.

How old are you? If you're older, and have an income, then cash is more appropriate than if you were the same age as him.

AUD IS THE WAY :D
