After skimming through your complaints of mistreatment for a couple of days and considering that Kobo is located in Canada for the moment, I asked a couple of questions about what a gift is and could you give yourself a gift. A side benefit of doing some free work for a local legal clinic is that I can ask questions and get somewhat professional answers. Now if I had a translator for legalese to English...

The answers I received were basically no, that the concept of a gift in both civil and common law in Canada involves two separate persons -- the donor and the donee. To quote one item I was pointed at: "No consideration or quid pro quo, even of an indirect nature, may be received by the donor, or it will not be deemed a gift." which pretty much excludes the ability to give yourself a gift in the legal sense.
