Initially the gift card was like a pre-paid rain check.Person A wants an item. Person B goes shopping for it. Supply vs. demand has put person B out of luck. Likely cause they shopped last minute. But here's a clever deal. Buy a gift card for person A in the amount of the coveted item, and when it comes in , they can pick it up! Person B is happy. Person A can wank off that they have to wait until after Christmas, but they'll get what they want, so I suppose they are happy too!
I buy gift cards all the time and I HATE it! I hate giving them as a gift. Makes me feel like I didn't even try or care. BUT, this year, I gave one to my Mom & my Dad. They generally buy what they want, when they want. I didn't have so much $ to spend on them, and they like me are over shoppers, so likely they'll fork over more money over the card. That's just how my family is. We spend way too much money.
I could never understand people that leave a tid bit on there. Spend the extra $5 or whatever in addition to the card balance, but do not leave unused money on those cards!
