Filial piety is one of the greatest causes for entering Paradise, and among the acts of piety is spending on one's parents. If you buy items for your father for a certain amount, and he gives you a larger amount, there is no harm in that. He is donating the excess to you. There is no usury (riba) in this matter; rather, both of you are rewarded. You intended to donate to him, and he donated the excess amount to you.
