I want to buy a gift but I can't afford it. Would it be okay to give a check even though I don't have enough money in the bank to cover it?

It might not be the best idea to give a check unless you can be sure that the recipient has a bank account or a way to cash it. The recipient will still have to pay any fees associated with the check and it will be their responsibility to cash it, so make sure you can afford both the check and associated fees before offering it as a gift.
