i also made this mistake kinda mirrored your eperience.i thought buy clothes gift them to kind girls but no.it obviously doesnt work that way.the thought of giving cash and saying buy what you want with it is not very caring and is so impersonel.please telll me if i am wrong and havent unlocked the way to gift properly.oh and the costs of these clothes has been taken from my account balance the items dont appear anywhere so yes am a fool for not searching boards etc b4 purchasing,but feel a valid problem needs addressing. :'(
