Others are pretty low maintenance and/or only have one big interest, so they end up getting the same thing from 10 different people, or gift cards.

And some people are teenage girls, who don't like anything they can't try on first, so they get gift cards.

I think next year we're having Christmas around an ATM.
That's when you're to the point where you shouldn't even be exchanging gifts, because IMO gift cards aren't "gifts". You're basically giving them money, but telling them where to spend it, not to mention you have to still go out and purchase them. And if it's all just a big money exchange, everyone should just go out and buy something for themselves and save all the trouble.

I agree... I guess people like the idea of giving gift cards because you can at least act like there's a personal touch. "Oh, I knew you would like a gift card from Best Buy!"...yeah, just like the other 300 million people in America.

The thing is, she could just give you the value of the gift card in cash, it would save her a trip to buy the damn gift card and you still get to pick out your own porn.
