Val: Finished your shopping, Rena?
Rena: WEEKS ago!
Rena: I got everyone a gift card.
Val: That doesn't feel too...impersonal?
Rena: Oh, I'm sure a bunch of cheap plastic junk would've been MORE personal, but I didn't have time.
It depends on what the gift card is for. I work for a fabric store, and the ladies who receive gift cards love them because they can buy fabric they normally couldn’t afford (or, for quilters, buy MORE fabric…). One of my sons is buying another one a gift card for a brewing supply shop – the 2nd son loves to brew his own beer. First son wouldn’t have a clue what 2nd son needs; this way it’s practical and thoughtful.
