Always a safe choice
What can you say about a gift card?  It came in a really pretty box, it was a typical gift card, and it had money on it.  Money for Amazon, my favorite online retailer.  Pretty a fail safe gift.  I know from speaking with my brother in law, he had no issues in ordering it or having it delivered to me (this was an actual physical gift card, not the online e-card), and I can tell you I had no problems spending it.  I even had an order that had to be returned and I had no problems getting the amount refunded back to my account.  I'm not a huge fan of gift cards (to me they basically say "hey, here's how much I think you're worth!"), but when you don't know what to get someone, this is a safe and easy gift.  And if they're an Amazon shopper, they'll love it.
