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!?

phlufster

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.

What is a good christmas gift ideas?

Answer
If youâre wondering what are good Christmas gift ideas, all you need to do is think about the recipient. Your focus on what they really enjoy will guide you to choosing the perfect present.
While some people may be amazed at the selection of luxurious items in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, which debuts every October, that doesnât mean you need to spend this kind of money for every person on your list.

You can come up with a variety of unique gift ideas by first sitting down with pen and paper and mapping out who youâll be giving presents to this year. Then, draw up a budget. Does this make you Mr. Scrooge? No. In fact, the right kind of budget lets you expand on your creativity, instead of winging your way through the mall picking up any old thing on a sale rack.

Your gift list might include:

* Children, partners, parents, and siblings
* Close friends and special relatives, like grandparents, aunts, and uncles
* Your childrenâs teachers or sitters
* Neighbors, Sunday school teachers, instructors, and people who provide special services

Once youâve established a budget, you can think about what are good Christmas gift ideas for each individual. When shopping online, take advantage of retailersâ sites that help you by sorting items by price range â itâs a much easier.

What Are Good Christmas Gift Ideas for Family?

Time spent together and opportunities to explore individual interests are terrific ideas for loved ones.
[edit]
Children

When buying for children, choose activity-based games and kits that encourage the imagination and time spent together. For example:

* Kits for making homemade bubble gum or building cars. These often require older child or adult supervision, but itâs a different type of play.
* An all-ages board game.
* A portable keyboard with a wide selection of instruments and sounds so everyone can join in.
* A pass to a science center or childrenâs activity center for family fun all year long.

[edit]
Teenagers

Todayâs teenagers have special wants and needs that may differ from other children in the family. Consider these gift ideas for teenagers:

* The opportunity to throw a special party.
* An image makeover â works well for both young women and men.
* Tickets to a play or concert.
* Supplies to indulge a special hobby.
* An upgrade on a cell phone or mp3 player.

Keep in mind that while many of these gifts are great ways to spend time together, your teen may choose to share them with friends instead, or simply have a little âmeâ time. Donât put stipulations on the gift; just let them know youâre interested in joining them if itâs their choice. That option may be another gift you give them.
[edit]
Partners

Ask yourself, âIf I had one full day without chores/work/kids/other obligations, what would I do?â Spend all day scrapbooking? Finish building that flag frame in the woodshed? Go to an authorâs book signing or take in a game with some friends? Before giving your partner another clunky kitchen gadget or talking fish, consider giving your partner a new âhoney doâ list, as in, âHoney, do whatever you want this Saturday!â

Remember that before you were a wife or mother, husband or father, you were two individuals who enjoyed spending quality time together. When someone asks what you want for a Christmas present say, âTime alone with my spouse.â Arrange for another person to babysit or dog sit, and you and your partner spend a day or an overnight somewhere together. This type of gift will keep giving for a long time.
[edit]
Parents and Siblings

Each family shares a unique history. Think about memorable trips, occasions, and celebrations and put them together in a special book or scrapbook.

If this is a gift for parents, ask each of your siblings to write a chapter on one of their favorite family moments, or a collection of experiences. Each person can sort through photos or mementos, and donate a little to the cost of printing and binding so that each individual has a copy.

This doesnât have to be a one-time gift: build the book into categories such as âChristmas Times I Rememberâ or âLake Vacationsâ and make a new contribution to the book each year.

Another gift for siblings is to do something together you loved to do as kids. This could be a weekend trip to an amusement park or camping in the backyard.
[edit]
Gifts for Other Special People

Friends and other people who enrich your life enjoy your thought of them during the holidays. Good Christmas gift ideas for them include:

* A gift certificate for a movie or lunch.
* A gift card to their favorite store or for a special hobby.
* Homemade food gifts you can personalize to suit a particular taste.
* A donation to a group or charity in the personâs name.

Another gift idea is to give of yourself. Maybe a new mother needs an extra set of hands, or your grandfather wants to learn how
