Do you like getting them as a gift? Would you rather have a giftcard to a specific store or one of those American Express giftcards that act as real money? I think I'd like a giftcard as a gift. I can choose what I want to buy, but of course if someone took the time to think of what to buy me it would be more meaningful.

in our family we ask each person what they want. I asked for giftcards this year from 2 people.. I hope I get them. my husbands grandmother tells us to buy what we want and she will reimburse us up to 30 dollars per person. my gift was only 18 bux this year.. But i love gift cards. I always ask for Walmart giftcards, they will never go out of business and thats about the only place I shop.

I like giftcards! That way I can pick exactly what I want. The American Express giftcard wouldn't be a bad idea either! That way I could catch all the sales for different stores! :) Cash is always nice too! :) a

I like to gift cards, especially if I don't know what I want that year. The gift cards give me the opportunity to buy something that I couldn't usually buy myself. Or I could use them to buy the stuff I do buy, so I can use my money in other ways. I hope that makes sense.

Gift cards are great gifts. This year if I were to have a choice I would choose the American Express giftcard. There are many companies here in the US going through tough times during this recession. they are selling gift cards, but if their business fails, people will be stuck with worthless giftcards. People are being advised to be careful of buying gift cards from certain stores.

Yes, I love to get gift card or anything like that, but sadly to say no one willing to give one......and most people here prefer to give you a gift then a gift card it self. BR

I love getting cards! I buy what I want and know I'll be happy with it. But give me cash any day. It's always the right size and the perfect color!!

I love gift cards. I am honestly the easiest person in the world to buy for, but people don't believe me. You know when they say "It is the thought that counts"? I am that person that is happy that someone thought enough of me to buy me something. It could be a pack of gum and I am grateful (even if the implication on that is that I have bad breath :o) ) Gift cards are awesome. I love seeing exactly how much stuff I can get for the money that the giver put on there. One of my gal-pals has caught on and realized she can get away much cheaper just buying me something I will like instead of agonizing over how much money would not be insulting to give your friend for a gift........
