Gift cards or gifts

[melodylogan45]

Do you like buying gift cards or like picking out a gift for friends? I like gift cards
Because we know everyone likes money and it makes shopping easier especially
If you have health issues as I do.

Neither - I believe it is the joy of seeing your kids wake up on Christmas morning with the excitement that SANTA has came and spent the time to bring that child what they hoped for all year long. I love seeing there faces the most so buying a gift card or gifts is just a shameless monetary promotion that big business has made possible for the holiday season.

A lot easier to get a gift card to a mall or store that I know that they frequent.  I tell people "if you don't know, get met a Starbucks or Amazon card."

It depends on who it is for.
Younger kids all like to open presents, so they all get presents.  I do gift cards for adults predominantly, and to my gardeners.

For Birthdays, I send all extended family's kids gift cards.

For kids always presents and never clothing.  I do buy presents but also get gift cards for places I know they love.

I normally end up getting both. I try my best to give gifts but some folks are impossible to buy for these days.

A gift is always more personal, but I think so me people are just too hard to buy for, so gift cards are great!

I think I will give gift cards this year.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you safe.

I give gift cards; It's much easier for the younger people who like to go shopping on their own.

I give gift cards  for the kids and some gift.

I guess historically I have always thought that buying gift cards was a slightly lazy option. But now that my kids are reaching their teenage years, I can see that there is certainly a place for them. I remember what it was like to receive a gift which I felt was a waste of money, and I was disappointed, not for myself but for the person that bought the gift for me. I felt like they had wasted their money. So to give a gift card is really saying, I want my gift to be right on the money! It is great for teenagers or for someone who you don't know very well.
