I think I'm going to have to do something like this myself. Not only do end up with things I don't need in many cases, but if I do ask for something I often times get the totally wrong thing, even if I send a specific link or tell exactly what I'm looking for. Perhaps I am spoiled, but it is rediculously frustrating to tell somebody one thing that you want in detail, and end up with something kinda close.
I think having a donation made in your name might be a great way to avoid this completely, and potentially a good tax write-off...
Ex: My dad has hook-ups for tools through vendors at work, so I told him I wanted a butane-powered soldering iron to be used to re-wire the Z. Instead he gives me two of something that looks like a fancy lighter from the dollar store.
