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.

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.

the concept of making a donation to a non-profit organization (or towards something to improve the world) as your gift to a loved one
At Christmas, instead of buying a sweater for a loved one, buying a chicken on a non-profit website that goes to someone in the developing world as your gift to a loved one here, and the loved one here gets a certificate that says who got the chicken.
The practice of gift-lanthropy is increasing in North America.
Many non-profit organizations are implementing the model of gift-lanthropy to increase donations.

I was always amazed with my musical abilities, in that, I could spontaneously make up humorous lyrics for country songs in real time...especially when I was drunk. Turns out its so formulaic that any moron can do it. DAMN!! I thought I was piss gifted

Having earned the admiration/respect/affection of another person to the extent that they will give you a token of their feelings voluntarily and without expectation of repayment.
A: Bought you something!
P: Ohhhhh.... I really wish you hadn't.
A: Oh, you'll think differently when you see what it is! Spent very little, if that's what you're worried about.
P: Yeah, but I also haven't been gift-worthy in quite a while...
A: Oh whatever! Gift-worthy isn't even a real thing. You just made that up.
