Hi Vinnia,

my sister has given me a very nice cooking knife for one of my 
birthdays, I did not pay her and there has been no change in our 
relationship - although I would not call it friendship at some 
times ; )
On another occasion the mother of my boyfriend has given me a small 
meat chopper (yes I love cooking tools, especially good knifes etc. 
*grin*) as a birthday present, and I did not 'pay' her either 
and here again, no change in the relationship.

So I guess as the centaurs would probably say, caution might be wise, 
but there is no 'such and such will definitely happen'.

good luck
Sandra
