I notice that everyone who is saying that they don't like gift cards is saying that they don't like to give them. Sure, I guess it seems a little impersonal and they will know the amount. But look at it from the recipient's point of view. Gift cards are awesome to receive because you get what you really want. I'd rather get a gift card over some gift that I might not really like or need. If you already know of a specific item that the person wants, great...get it. But if you're just guessing at ideas, gift cards are perfect. Just my two cents.

 

Oh I completely agree. I was just saying that they seem impersonal and that I don't like the fact that ppl know their value. But I never said they were useless :D very handy. I usually use it on my family. For example, my twin goes banana's for shoes/purses and since she has her own quirky taste I will give her a gift car at DSW

But that's ok cos I know that's exactly what she wants and she knows I'm cheap with her

 

I got the same problem boostedbox06. I'm trying to think of a present that a hard nosed NYC 60-something year old would use, and drawing blanks. That internet tablet would confuse him. He runs a power tool business, so half the damn guy gifts go out the window right there alone. I'm leaning towards 3 hybrid clubs, but I dunno. Good thing i didn't wait until the last minute
