It's hard to shake the social mores you grew up with. The only people (peversely) it is acceptable to give money to as presents is your own family. usually only applies at a distance from older to younger generations ie Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles who live in different cities. From anyone else it is considered a sign that you don't care.

Oh dear. The future Mrs HM has her work cut out for her.
