no boxed gifts

Seen on wedding invitations, the couple are frankly demanding cash gifts. This has become a trend in desi culture, mostly among Pakistanis. It is considered bad etiquette and a faux pas by most people, since it is rude to mention gifts in wedding invitations at all.
guy: what should we get them as a gift?
girl: well, the invitation says 'no boxed gifts'
guy: are you serious?! that is so cheap. it's like they're asking for money. let's just give them a card and have it done with.

Indian gift

a gift that the receiver is bound to return to the giver because the latter will, for sure, demand that the gift be returned sometime in the future. Also called Indian present.
I don't like to hold back this gift because I will have to return it sooner or later. It's an Indian gift. Do you know who gave this gift to me? Mr Jack, an Indian giver to the core.

Many non-profit organizations are implementing the model of gift-lanthropy to increase donations.
