Some folks find gift cards boring, impersonal, or both. I get it. But it just seems easier to know which businesses people like and with the cards, let them decide what they want from there.

It seems a bit lazy when you think about it since it requires no thought or effort to give a gift card. However, I'm not the best at gift giving and will fall back on cash if I truly can't think of anything else.

Like Rambler said, know a persons favorite store.
I look at it this way: I'm not just giving them a gift card, I'm giving them the gift called choice. I give the money, you choose the gifts. Everybody is happy.

I expect whoever I gift to be thankful and of course, it's the same for me. It's just manners. Who turns their nose up at a gift card?

I use every cent on them. I also like getting cards from places I don't normally visit, especially restaurants that I've always meant to try.

Gift cards have long ago stopped being stocking stuffers. If you're out in a store shopping anyway, why not pick one up for that cousin a thousand miles away.
