That was funny! To answer you, though, I don't like gift cards at all. They're like converting money into money that is now restricted. How can it be anything other than a negative thing?

If anyone is wondering about what to buy me for my birthday tomorrow (shhh, DannyKanes), the gift of alcohol always goes down well.

I'd like amazon gc

I'd prefer just money. Gift cards are really restrictive. Either that or an Amazon gift card or something.

Prepaid Phone Minutes Card?

They still make those?

I'd go with book store. I can always find something there.

Even though I rarely drink coffee, I'd go with the Starbucks one.

Book store I chose, but I'd prefer an Amazon gift card. I just received an Amazon, iTunes, and Gamestop gift card for my birthday. :)

I can't decide between a book store an Walmart, because that is the next best thing from cold hard cash, you can get anything at Walmart! But there are about a billion different books in any given book store that I would LOVE to have!

A gift card to a bookstore so I can buy more manga and comic books.

Clothes... iTunes cards are totally useless to me, and bookstore cards I use to buy other people's gifts xd

I hate gift cards and vouchers, I've probably had $1000 expire without using them over the years. They cause me a lot of stress having to try to find some thing that I need before they run out. I'd prefer no present or cash. I had $150 at a snazzy clothing store yet I had no money to buy food or pay my rent. While I was grateful for the gift I couldn't help feeling a bit pissed off.

My local grocer has gift cards. Give me one of those and I'll throw a party. :)

I'd rather receive no gift then recieve a giftcard.

iTunes or a book store one. I've never had much luck with "electronic" oriented ones. The only one I've received for a "clothing store" was on my birthday. It was for target and the selection was so bad that I bought hello kitty socks and gel pens:P

I want the massage/spa gift card. I've never been to the spa so maybe its time I checked it out.

Cash is king. You can even wrap it up in a pretty stationary card, but the card just goes in the trash anyway.

I chose moderate clothing store because I could use the clothes more... but I always have trouble deciding how much to spend on one piece of clothing...
It's easier for me to buy an album or two on iTunes...

I'd go with either Starbucks, iTunes or a bookstore gift card, thank you.

it depends on the person giving the card. if the person knew me well, i'd want a gift card from one of my favorite stores. if the person did not know me well, or if it was an older relative, amazon would be good (they have everything) or itunes would be ok.

if it was someone that was supposed to be a close friend, and i expected them to know me well, i'd be a little put off by a gift card that was not specific to my tastes (an amazon card would probably NOT be appropriate for a significant other or best friend unless the recipient does most of their shopping on amazon).

and gift cards CAN be quite a thoughtful gift... especially if it's to a specialty store or boutique that the person likes or would like.

Just buy a visa giftcard, they can use it anywhere.

Book store. I'm a bookworm and it's the kind of place that you can always find something you like.

If your giving money just give money not a gift card. Once you give the money away you can no longer spend it you just did! What the other person buys does not affect you so why should you care what they spend it on.
