I've given a few gifts in appreciation for kindnesses or exceptionally generous freebies, or even once to get something for a European friend who didn't have any means to make an online purchase at the RMP. Received quite a few also. Fairly common to get gifts from generous vendors also. Biggest surprise was a gift from a new member who had just posted his first question. English wasn't his native tongue, and an unusual phrasing or tone to the question (posted late at night) made it easy to make light of, and as luck would have it, I was the only one of the 4 or 5 responses he got in the first hour to give him a serious reply. One of my suggestions seemed to help, and next morning I got an Email notifying me he'd bought me a gift from my list. Happy surprise. I think they later became a vendor on another site, if I recall.
