Yes, I do like giving things away but it matters to me that it will be useful to them. I generally give away my tech (gpus, keyboards, computer parts, kindles, headsets) to friends and coworkers, which usually means through previous conversations with them that I know they'll use it. I think that's the motivation for me.

It's also a good way of introducing them to tech that they wouldn't normally get for themselves. The best example is mechanical keyboards; most people don't think they want one until they've used it regularly. And kindles.
