  People in India do that, I guess it depends on the culture, some dont like getting direct cash.

    > I guess it depends on the culture, some dont like getting direct cash. East Asian cultures tend to stick to the "red envelope of cash". I'm curious how much businesses have had inroads into swaying cultures to believe that gifts and gift cards are more desirable than cash. Economists historically have talked about how gifts are frequently inefficient uses of money because there is value loss when it isn't the most desired item at the time.
