IMHO, gift cards are better than just running out and grabbing something for the sake of grabbing it. but nice christmad cards with sweethandwritten - Elf Andie Dec 20, 12:17 20
- Thanks. I'm actually getting a couple of gift cards and I'll be sure to fancy them up with your tips. - Krusty Dec 20, 12:22 10
  - yeah, you need to get your gf something other than a gift card! -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 20, 12:25 4
    - Hahahaha. That was never an option. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 12:25 3

        I was looking at something from kidrobot as a stocking stuffer but it's the real gift that's stumping me. - Krusty Dec 20, 12:31 1
        
        My wife loves her in-ear headphones. Getting a really nice set would work. Mine were recommended by TFox. Razor or something -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 20, 12:38
  - pocket vibe -- nm - Don Homer Dec 20, 12:23
  - Jewelry! :) -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 20, 12:23 3
    - I bought her jewelry for the last few years. I was hoping to go in another direction. Cash is tight which isn't helping, otherwise I would have got - Krusty Dec 20, 12:25 2
      - seems corny but I guarantee she would love a photo frame with a photo of you both - Epiphany Dec 20, 12:28 1
        
        I like this idea. Thanks. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 12:33
- With Gift Cards now unable to nickle/dime you to death with fees, they're certainly back in play for me to give as gifts again. But absolutely avoid - Qale Dec 20, 12:21 7
  - The absolute worst is AMEX. I got one a couple of years ago and and over 20% of it was eaten up with fees. -- nm - Trish Dec 20, 12:30
  - don't buy cards from any company that might go bankrupt anytime soon -- nm - double dose Dec 20, 12:28
  - Really? Thanks for this info. I was going to get the credit card ones so they can be used anywhere. -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 12:24 3
    - Bad idea. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 20, 12:25 1
      - you guys must have different laws than us. they're fine here, no fees at all. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 20, 12:25
    - Do not get the ones with the Kardashians on them :) -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 20, 12:24
  - Yes, I remember hearing an NPR story about those sometime last year -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 20, 12:22
- There's a local candy maker that I would do this with. So fun. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 20, 12:20
