A gift card limits the recipient to a particular place, which may or may not be to his/her taste. If you don't know what to get a person, best send a check; greenbacks can be spent *anywhere*. I agree entirely. A gift card is a gift to a specific store, not so much the recipient. I believe they also gave the statistic that 27% of gift cards are not redeemed. I don't consider cash crass, but another alternative, especially, say for other adults, is a Visa gift card which gives you a wide range of stores to spend it in. We bought some for the young people in the family and some of the administrative people at my husband's work who extended themselves to help him organize a recent conference. We bought them at our bank. Devon **************Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com.
