Or is it fine to just say "I am sorry I can not do that".
Thanks.
My relative asked me to go to the store to get flowers. I told him "sorry I can not do that". He got offended and started lecturing me.

Immature people tend to get offended when you don't give them a reason. A matured person would just say okay thank you and walk away. But it depends on the situation.

It would certainly depend on what the favor was, how inconvenient it would be, and why they needed help doing it. If it was within reason and I could do it without being late for work or something like that then you should try to help if someone asks. However, if you are being taken advantage of and you end up enabling a person to depend on you then you have a problem.
