Gift Cards yes - no

Gift Cards all the way.

My favorite gift when I was young was gift cards for gas stations for fuel. I buy gift cards cause its quick and easy and I dont have to worry about buying something they dont want. Many consider it impersonal but I think its more thoughtful. My gift of cash or prepaid credit might be the amount one would need to add to his other monetary gifts to buy what he needs.

When we started this a couple years ago I felt bad it not being personal. but then each year they seem to happier with the cards, I was just wondering what others were doing, that's great, I'm not the only one doing this.

I love gift cards especially to costco! We always get gift cards to extended family members whom we are not with on a regular basis.

Gift cards are good and appreciated... That way they can get what they want plus it makes your life easy and you don't have to shop with the masses (since you are retired and all).

Not really a fan of them. The only gift card I buy would be for my wife for Coffee Bean. She's too frugal to buy herself something good otherwise. Outside of her, none purchased. i do buy Gift Certificates to Sees Candy though. The card thing is meh to me.
