I see what you are saying Janelle, but I don't quite agree with that analogy because this isn't a one per customer coupon. I will of course honor the SSD's TOS but the reality is that either you are honorable about a TOS on digital products or your not. I think someone who is going to share, is going to share regardless of the TOS. Honest people (like myself who have so much respect for artists in general, as I am in the art field myself would not do that).
For me, I place several orders a month. When they are over $10 or $15. a free gift for purchases over those amounts entitle me to those free gifts. It's not one per customer, its one per order over X amount. So say over the course of a month I could in theory be entitled to those free several times every month. The same as if I went to the supermarket and they were running a buy one get one free special for the week on cookies. I could go on monday buy a pack of cookies (or ten packs of cookies) and get extras free, no coupon needed. I could do that all week long. Id have a big pile of free cookies and probably need to wear stretch pants. LOL
I shop on other digital sites, and more than one of them allow for gifting a kit under the agreement that that kit is for one persons personal use, not necessarily the person who paid the bill. I realize every site has it's own TOS and Im totally cool with abiding by the rules. I LOVE an respect the designers here and spend more time here than any other site.
Really I'm not trying to start any trouble or anything other than just having a conversation because I saw a girl post on FB who was bummed she didn't get the new freebie kit who said if she realized it was available, she would have bumped up her order. So this is all just hypothetical.
To me it's two different things... gifting to a person, is different than sharing, plus I earned those extra free kits by placing multiple qualifying orders. I wish the free stuff rotated every week with the new releases. Although I would still probably accumulate several of them since I love all the SSD designers so much its hard for me to pass up kits I like!
