I only think it is rude to ask, IF the giver did not ask the person what they want. They're just being honest! 
Now, if they walked up and said hey, ya know I never wore that sweater you gave me, so if you don't mind cash this year, I'd appreciate it" then THAT would be rude!
If you find it rude, or you really do not enjoy giving cash and really do enjoy picking out gifts, then simply don't ask them what they want and buy them a thoughtful gift from the lovethis instead.
Personally, I LOVE giving and receiving cash or gift cards. I am soooo not a shopper and I have very different taste than most people I know!
