Join in this discussion about giving gift cards on our Message Boards:

"I am not much of a gift certificate gal. I think overall they are kind of impersonal, unless it is for clothing or something where it is easier for the recipient to use a gift card rather than return things that do not fit if you do not know their sizes and/or taste."
