The gift
card is no less than an ingenious idea and creation. How many times have you
gone shopping, or thought about going shopping, to purchase a gift for someone
and found yourself completely clueless as to what to get for him or her? Whether
it's because you don't know the person very well or because the person already
has everything, this can be a very frustrating dilemma. Granted, you could
always buy the person a pretty little basket with bath and body products in it,
a fruitcake, or a candle, but aren't those ideas a little played out? At least
they are for the people who have been gifted them numerous times in their life.
It's the thought that counts though, right? That's true, but how about being
considerate in your thoughts about what someone might truly appreciate getting,
and if you don't know what that is, then how about buying them a gift card?
It's a
perfect escape from the frustration of not knowing what to get, and the
disappointment you may cause by giving someone one of those cliché, and often
silly, gifts. Maybe you're going to a wedding for a distant relative you've
never met, or there was a secret Santa drawing at work and you picked a
co-worker that, at most, you've nodded and smiled at in the mornings. The
bottom line is; you know nothing about this person, so how would you even know
where from they would like to have a gift certificate or card? That's the great
thing about these cards; every business has them these days. All people eat,
right? So get one from a decent restaurant.
If you only
plan on spending $5 to $15, you probably want to steer away from the restaurant
idea, because most people don't want to eat alone, so you would want to put
enough on the card for two people to dine out. Besides, these days $5 isn't
even enough for one person to dine out unless you get them a card for
McDonalds. Unless you know the person has a real passion for McDonalds, you
would probably not want to purchase someone a card from there. An even better
idea is to pick out a store that offers many different types of departments,
like Walmart or Target. There are so many options for using a gift card that
it's hard to go wrong.
