For Christmas instead of buying some shit that someone might not like and will return or just regift or what have you, why don't I just go out and get about 4-500 $bux in gift cards.

gift cards suck

why not just give them cash that they can spend anywhere instead of being limited to a few locations?

if you want to give them freedom to buy shit how about giving them ACTUAL MONEY instead of gift cards that chain them to one shitty store

Even when I get a gift card it is never the same as having a real present to open/play with/look at/etc on christmas day. I don't think it is lazy because you still have to purchase the gift card but it is not as enjoyable and entertaining on christmas when it really matters most.

Let me reiderate. I was thinking about that visa gift card shit. I like to think of myself as a creative and thoughtful gift buyer but when I go to buy something I want the person to really want it and not be just like oh great I needed this. Maybe its just me.

I love getting gift cards.

that way I get to pick out my own gift instead of getting some shit that someone else liked

well if anyone has ever been on an airplane, its impossible to carry your luggage, talk on your cell and hold any beverage at the same time

it attaches between the bars on rolling luggage handles and balances your drink for you

maybe i'm the only one who has spilled coffee on myself while juggling more than one bag and coffee??

no this happens to me like every morning

if i had that i'd probably just suck it up and get a rolling briefcase. maybe i'd look stupid but at least i wouldn't be stained!

you need a coffee stopper



starbucks give them out upon request but are usually out of them. i have a couple that i keep around since i don't always go to starbucks

it helps a little bit, if you're looking to hold your coffee instead of attaching to a rolly

I enjoy gift cards, but I'm starting to get to the point where I'd rather my family give me a gift that just involves going somewhere to do something with them. I don't get to see my family as much as I used to, so any excuse to see them and do something means more than a physical gift.

wtf... i don't have a rolling suitcase and even if i did, i would never use it.

that's the dumbest bullshit i've ever seen in my life - even if i had opportunity to use it, I wouldn't because it is so stupid.

visa gift cards don't work at places that only take cash

also, you can always find something neat to buy for someone you really care about and understand
