My manager told me I need to spend my own money on gifts for my coworkers

I was unofficially promoted and am being strung along about ever getting the official promotion. I don't have the salary but I do everything in the job description. Now since I'm one of the “leads” my manager has told me I'm in charge of buying presents for my coworkers' birthday. With my own money. Plus I'm supposed to ask my coworkers if they want just a card, cupcakes, or food for the entire office on my dime. I'm not spending a single red cent of my own until I get a salary raise. I shouldn't even have to then, but that's the least they could do…? Do they actually think I'm going to do this when they won't even give me a cost of living raise and I've taken on all this additional work, WTF.
