My sister once said (only partly tongue-in-cheek) that you should give gifts you yourself like so if the recipient doesn't like it you can always take it back. This takes that idea to whole other, and cherishable, level!

There is also the idea that it's nicer to gift experiences rather than material things, and in gifting a raw material such as yarn one is giving the recipient both the enjoyable experience of working with it as well as the option of the joyful experience of giving it as a gift to someone else, no matter if it's returned to the original gifter. (Yes, I'm one of those people who gets overly excited when I find a lovely gift and never bother to wait for birthdays to give them!)
