When I went off to uni my grandmother gave me her spare set of cutlery - and
made me 'pay' her a few pence for it. Don't know if this helps because we
never really got on *before* the gift!

My ex used to collect weapons though and I don't think his friend made him
pay for the dagger he got him in Spain - they're still friends, although not
as close due to geography rather than any kind of quarrel.
