ATTENTION!
10 days until Christmas Day!



How many gift cards/certificates are you giving as gifts this holiday season?


For Me…..I’m giving 8 gift cards and 1 gift certificate as a holiday gift this season.
I’ve bought a few and I still need to get the others. My DH and I do this in one ride along - we map out where we need to go, he drives and pulls up to the door, I jump out and get the gift card and then jump back into the car and move on to the next place :car:. We’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember - it’s kinda fun:tongue:

Diary Queen for DS's family in the box with their family ornaments.

Mod Pizza for DH and DGS to go out together

And a gift certificate for DS, DIL, DD and her boyfriend to go to an Escape Room designed by a Disney Imagineer

So 5......have to edit, I did get 2 others.

I have given plenty in past years but none this year
I do love giving & receiving them !!
 
I voted 7-8 but it’s really like 11-12. I give gift cards to my 4 direct reports at work. Various places I know they like: Shop Rite, Target, etc. Plus some for DDs.

Then I always have a few extra for unexpected situations.

And my cleaning service gets some plus an additional week’s charge.
 

2 - 1 to each of my kids (older one is getting a Kwik Trip card, younger one is getting a PlayStation card).

My 3 nieces are getting cash.
 
So far I have two Gift cards. We do give out a lot of $$ so we have many money holder envelopes. :santa:
 
3 McDonalds cards for the custodians at work.
1 Panera card for my best work friend.
3 Clothes Mentor cards for my mom and 2 sisters.
1 Best Buy card for my nephew.
1 Starbucks card for a good friend.
 
3 - $20 target gift cards- 2 for the little kids teachers and 1 for their bus driver

2- $15 Roblox gift cards for DS8 and DD5

Debating on whether to give DD18 gift cards or just cash? She wants an aeropastale gift card but I feel like their store is always empty after Xmas so at least cash will let her shop wherever. Then again, if I give her cash she’ll blow it all on take out which she uses all her money for.
 
I am giving cash to one person, because they asked for cash for a specific store that doesn’t do gift cards. I only give gift cards if that is specifically requested so I know the card will be used. I would rather receive no gift at all than get a gift card I will never use.
 
I bough about 210 gift cards for employees & folks like the UPS guy and so on.
Personally, I think we are giving 5 or 6 gift cards for the holidays. Big one for our future DIL from Williams Sonoma for her Christmas Gift, and small ones for fun in everyone's stocking.
 
I'm giving one to my son. The only reason I'm even doing that is because I ordered it for his early Dec birthday and it didn't come in time so I gave him cash instead. I have a wellness award with my health insurance so basically I got him 100$ gift card from Lowes for free.
 
Restaurant gift cards for both sets of parents. They are both downsizing and rather not get them any thing else.

And a gas card for the college age student's stocking. Also got a few movie gift cards already.
 
15 or more
3 of our angel tree people asked for them
All of our family and dils asked for them too.
I love it because it makes things pretty easy.
 
Probably none, but I may end up getting DS a Cineplex one if I don’t get him the monthly movie ticket subscription plan instead. I’m generally a “NO” on gift cards unless I know specifically that a person appreciated them.
 
I just couldn't get into shopping, etc. this year.

DMIL and DSIL are in Vienna now. I gave them each a check to help with their trip. Didn't count this in with my gift card vote.
Sent Amazon gift cards to 5 nieces/nephews.
Other DSIL - I bought 4 separate gift cards to different restaurants for her
DM and DF - one gift card to a pizza restaurant, another for the grocery store they use. Because they need/want nothing. Nothing. Sigh.
