When I see something that I think a friend would buy for that price, I buy it and offer to sell it to them. If they doesn't buy it then I return it, which takes a few minutes next time I'm at the store. At first we would exchange money each time, but now we remember how much we owe each other. If one of us owes too much or for too long, then we exchange money.
I have been told that this is a perversion of gifts.
Is it cold in here?:
It's innovative anyway.
The more I think about it the more I like it. If it's worth your friend's buying it, that means you found something they actually wanted, and to me it's the finding the right thing for the right person that's the most fun part of gift-giving.

I've long liked the idea of getting stuff for people when you see something they'd love rather than on a fixed schedule.

So is asking something in return for a gift, though.

Thats also whats hard about finding good gifts for people.

On that note, I always hated the forced "gratitude" that older people complained to agony aunts about in the form of "thank you" cards. I'm sorry, when I give something to someone it's because I think that they'll like it. If I expected anything in return, especially as part of some forced ritual, it wouldn't be a gift, then, would it?
