Gift cards?




staggmovie


I am not a fan of gift cards, I do know what they are and I know the fact is that people like to give them out as gifts, and I have been on the recieving end of them, but never on the giving end. It seems like that I figre that people give these out as gifts to wiggle thier way out of giving somebody an actual gift. So I will give out some questions here, and heopfully, I will get some good answers out of you. Wha do you think is the most popluar store that people buy gifts cards from? Why do you like to give them out as gifts? How much do they cost? Are they the same as the amount that you give out, usually it will be $25.00 is the abou the usual amount that people like to select. So were are talking about gift cards did you give them out as gifts this holiday season, and if so how many did you give out? Did you get any gift cards, and if so how many did you get?


Answer
I will give a K-mart card to a friend for a belated Christmas present, she will be thrilled, she'll love it, and a Walmart card to her daughter[she sews and they have yard goods]. One to another friend from the orange chain hardware store, that is what she wants and asked for. And one to Michaels to another friend, who is totally impossible to buy for.
The amounts are all for $25, because that is about what we spend on each other.
The first two are getting the cards because they had no money for presents this year, they spent the money on a nice family dinner, and on a gift for their preacher's wife who cooked a fabulous dinner for the whole church, and gave each head of family a pie.
I love gift cards, I have one waiting for me to go spend it, it's for $15, and is for Walmart. I'm as bad as a kid, can't wait to figure out what to buy. And I give them for that reason, people can go buy something useful, or put it with their own money to buy something bigger, or just go buy what they did not get for Xmas. I prefer to buy at the discount chains, so they can get the most bang for their buck when they go to spend it.
Illinois just past a law in which gift cards do not expire, nor decrease in value in this state. Cool! and Walmart already had that policy.
Among my friend's Walmart is the most popular choice for a gift card. We have a brand new superstore near, and the novelty of it has not worn off yet. One store I know charges a buck for a card, all the other stores it is free, one even gives out an envelope, another has a envelope that folds into a little box. . The stores make their profit for the cards that people do not ever spend. I forget how many millions the news article said the stores make from people do not use the cards that they bought, or were given.
I did not get any gift cards this year. But I have not had my Xmas party yet, it got postponed due to weather.
I gave the reasons above for the cards, impossible people, requests, poverty, kid in a toystore [me at Walmart] theory.
And yes, I still believe that it is much nicer to go buy a present, and wrap it up. If only my friends liked this idea, too! But I always either wrap the gift card, or at least find a gift bag, in a color they like.

I need a UNIQUE gift card idea!?

We are exchanging unique gift cards and I need some ideas. It can't be for gas or Walmart, it has to be somewhere that you usually wouldn't go to, but if you had a $50 card you would. Some ideas I had so far are Omaha Steaks, a few nicer restaurants in our town and some online shops. I would love some input!!


Answer
You can find a lot of ideas at the Gift Card Mall. https://www.giftcardmall.com/ . How about a SpaFinder gift card for a facial or massage. For a guy, Home Depot. AMC theaters for a nice movie. DSW for shoes, the possibilities are endless. But, for a unique experience I would go to a nearby small gift shop or eatery to see if they have gift cards/certificates.
