[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are very fussy about pretending  to not like money, and would have preferred a gift. [/quote]

Who says she's pretending?  Paying someone for this could pretty easily make it feel like a commercial transaction, rather than an act of friendship.  I honestly wouldn't want to be compensated more than the cost of shipping and a few bucks for gas.  If you're paying me, I'm your errand boy and you don't want to be in my debt.  If we're friends, I just trust that someday you'll do me a favor when I need it, because that's part of being friends. [/quote]

Why can't a friend send you a thank-gift for going way out of your way, and also help you when you need a favor? [/quote]
A thank-you gift would be a bottle of wine or a small souvenir from the trip.  Cash is payment.[/quote]

There have been countless threads about how people hate gifts of junk or gifts that feed addiction like sugary food and alcohol. The cash wasn't the issue. The friend does not want to be asked again. We don't know how many favors OP has requested and why this friend didn't just decline, which would have made the most sense.[/quote]
