Hey, Gift cards I love! Give me money and I won't go get what I "originally" wanted from that store as I tend to look at the Sunday ads and find something "cheaper" that way, or I'll spend the money eating out.

Give me a gift card to THAT store be it Target, Walmart, etc., and I HAVE to stop by that store to buy what I want.

At my baby shower this past March 06 I had alot of gift cards from Target and Walmart. I even used one to fill up the SUV w/gas :-)

Good morning. It's me Eva

Hi Paula,
Do you buy any for anyone? No
Receive any for gifts for yourself? Yes, I get Dunkin Donut gift cards at christmas time from the kids on my bus, those are great ones !

Hi Paula,
Oh wow you sure did get two great ones.
The donut ones, yum@
B & BW is a great place to shop with a GC .. bet you loved it!
Awww I understood exactly what you meant ..
Seems we always end up giving more money than the card allowed.
You're not alone with that at all .. defeats the purpose, kwim?
Hoping if you get any you use it without having to add to it :)

i love giving them as gifts. especially to the person's favorite store or retaurant.they are great for people you really don't know what to give.
like my parents & exmil- they go shopping often to buy whatever they need or want so this makes it easy.

I kind of don't give money gifts except to the postman or garbage man..... and then I use a regular XMAS card.
