Heh, I do random favours (big and small) all the time, and the reactions I get are always priceless, even if they are from a person who knows me well.
It's my way of giving presents since I don't believe in birthday- or Christmas presents. I don't buy the "You have to find something for somebody, just because"-mentallity. I'd rather give a present or do a favour for someone when the situation arises. I think it is way more effective, even if that means that I am the only one without a true present at a party (wine and chocolate do not count :-).
That doesn't mean though, that I don't like to give or get presents, I just don't like the occasion being forced upon me.
