If you prefer getting the gift instead of money, then you would prefer having the gift instead of having the money, which means that if you receive money you would use the money to buy the equivalent of the gift, not save it. It’s contradictory to put the money into savings (prefer the money over the item) but “prefer getting gifts” (prefer the item over the money).
I’m very frugal, if you give me money it just goes into savings. I prefer getting gifts because it’s usually stuff I wouldn’t buy for myself.
