Default Re: For or On

There seems to be a difference.

Q 1 may be asked by those who are near to us because it seems to imply that you do expect a present from them.

But Q 2 sounds like you asked them for a present and then they replied with this question.

So depending on the context, the nature of the question - and the way it is framed - varies.
