Is there a Way to Make it so That Your Friend can no longer send you Xbox Live Gifts?

I know it's a weird question, but hear me out.

I have a friend that's a very caring and giving person. It is one of his best, and at times worst qualities. I know he can afford it, but at the same time I don't want him to be spending so much money on me.

In the last month he has spent nearly $400 on myself alone, not to mention the other people that he's given Xbox gifts to. I really do appreciate the gifts, but I want him to use the money on himself or to at least hold on to it. So is there a way to do
this without outright blocking him? Cuz I refuse to do that.

Nah XD

If it makes you feel better, after I showed him this support thread he gifted me another game. I was hoping it would make him slow down if he saw I was trying to get help with blocking them. I was apparently wrong.

I hope that Xbox considers adding that as an option one day in the future. Cuz I have let my friend know, but if he wants to give somebody something, at the end of the day he's going to do it.

Hello Tristen,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have a question on gifts. Unfortunately, you can't stop gifts. However, if they are sent as code or etc., you do not have to redeem them. We recommend mention it to them that you appreciate them, but don't
need them.

Thanks,

Brad

I believe that you add friends via Xbox Live (so, you'd look for them via xbox.com and use their profile to add them). Then you can send keys, etc., once per day to each of them. There is a menu option to send gifts to your friends in the same menu that
you receive the gifts.
