Don't people get that they got DUPED by companies selling them this nonsense? Why do people bother? If you can't think of a gift, just give money! I mean a gift card is exactly as impersonal but can only be spent in certain places and has an expiration date. It's all the downsides of any other way you might go and not a single plus to be had! Put a dollar towards a velvet drawstring bag if you want it to look nice, I dunno, just stop buying gift cards!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
