And you gave them the money to purchase the present....

What would you think when they used the money on something other than what the money was raised for?

I was confused. What was he supposed to buy with the money, and what did he buy?

I agree with this guy

i'd think...wow, we were stupid, why didn't we just give the object instead of the money

We ordered the present a month before his bday, but it never arrived and we got the run around from the store we bought it at.

So rather than buy it somewhere else and make him wait again, we gave him the money to buy it :)

I'd be ok with it, as long as the person used the money either for a) a better cause, or b) something more useful.

Like mugs, I wanna know what he used the money for.

I dont' see a problem with him using it to pay his bills. It doesn't really matter to me though, you give him a present for him to enjoy and it seems that he used it how he saw fit.

nothing other then "Guess I didn't know what he wanted after all." Not sure where the problem would be, he's happy, you're still out the same amount of money...
