Put it in your wallet. Then you'll see it when you're at Wal-Mart

A gift etiquette question. You liked your XM radio gift so that is wonderful, but in general what is the thinking on giving gifts that continued use by the recipient would require an expenditure?
For example, a coworker got some new computer game as a gift. It is an MMORPG and comes with three months free play. But after that, my coworker would have to pay $12 a month to keep playing. Cell phones, gym memberships, XM Radio, etc.

Since it came from Mom and Dad they paid for a year of service. But, as a personal rule I avoid gifts that come with a subscription fee unless I know they wanted the game/item to begin with.
