Gift cards as Christmas gifts: yay or nay?
yay, but I think it depends on what the gift cards are for. you can still put a lot of thought and effort into picking out gift cards for people you care about (:
for example, if you know your partner LOVES shopping at a specific clothing store, it would probably mean a lot to them to get a gift card for it. you're still giving a heartfelt gift with their interests in mind, but also letting them have freedom to choose their favorite things to buy for themselves. it's very caring! plus, you can even make a date out of it!! you can take them to the store to go shopping together <3
in this way, gift cards don't have to be a "lazy" gift that shows no interest in the person you're giving them to. you can make them meaningful.
sure, some people like unwrapping things on christmas morning. there's a lot of excitement in that. I enjoy it, too. but personally,,,,,,,,,,,I'd rather unwrap a gift card to my favorite store than unwrap something from the same place that might not fit, might not be my taste, etc
