notice how often we use the phrase "free gift"?
free implies that something need not be purchased while gift is given out of goodwill. though the term itself has nothing wrong, think about it this way. would you like to be given a gift and then told that you are required to pay for it?
a gift is always free and if it's chargeable, then, it's not a gift. :)
