I donu2019t give Christmas gift cards except for places young people will shop. Their parents will get cash. I get a few gift cards, but right now I am looking for one I misplaced! If the receivers donu2019t need a card I would recommend that you make a contribution to a charity they might support in his/her name u2014and if that is not well received, cross them off your list and consider continuing your gift to people needing help. Most of us who send or receive gift cards donu2019t need one damn thing! While I appreciate the cards whenever someone sends something to a third world country it just makes me happyu2026u2026.one of the nicest Christmas presents I had was to wake up and there were no presents to open. We do Christmas the night before but what we received then was small things because the kids just wanted to give something knowing we didnu2019t need anythingu2026.and all were full of love.
