do you think it's rude to give someone money as birthday present?

I sent my friend money via Revolut today for her birthday as I knew she needed some for her Date night!
Little does she know I've paid for her deserts!
I know the restaurant manager! 😉
I just got a huge thank you off her.. Hilarious drunk voicemail!
Dates going well!

No, I actually prefer getting money rather than the endless supplies of candles/boxes of shortbread/jars of handcream etc that seem to come my way. It's only rude when it's an insultingly small amount from someone who can afford more

No. As a kid, I was thrilled to get money as a gift.

No! It's better because you can save it or buy something you like. 😊

No. It’s a gift and I’d be thankful they thought about me.

Nope.
My brother is known to do that.
It was much appreciated since there's a chance he'll get me something I don't want.

No because some people are very hard to please so they ought to appreciate the money.

{@octoberthesixth] no not at all both mam and i do it for family members . it may seem a cop out to some but rather waste money on something someone does not want or appreciate

It's a present. Sure, it's not too thoughtful, but it's a safe bet. Better than getting nothing at all

It's a bit weird but I don't think it's rude. A present is more thoughtful that's all.

No, not at all!

No.

No

no...

I have never thought it rude, but I’m American. My friend who grew up in Spain still believe Ina gift based on “knowing” the person closely.

I don't think it's rude, I think it's lazy and awesome, I rather have the money and do what I please with it...

If you have an awesome item what to spend it on, or invest in, then awesome, but letting me decide is cool too.

No especially if you don’t know what they really want or need

Absolutely not

Not at all. It’s the surest way they’ll get something they want—they can choose it.

Not at all.

Hell no. Best idea ever

No. It's a pain in the ass to return shit for cash so you can buy the drugs you wanted in the first place.

No it’s a great gift
