I wouldn't be mad about this at all. I'd actually be proud that my son isn't selfish. After a gift is bought and given to someone it's their call what they do with it after that. Although if it was one of my kids a heads up would be nice and by the sound of it his dad was all for with this gesture.

Maybe initially, but I would self-resolve and accept and appreciate that my actions in getting the gift were not a waste and enabled my son to perform his act of generosity.

Pretty much these. It'd be a little frustrating to put that much effort in and not have the gift be used the way I expected it to be, but the kid's being kind and generous enough in doing this that it's not hard to accept that this is the better outcome and be proud of him.
