Ultra-Last Minute Shoppers - Gift Cards Are Thoughtful & Appreciated Gifts...
12/23/2007 20:40
If there's anyone left on your holiday shopping list
no matter personal or professional a gift certificate
is always appreciated because the recipient can
select exactly what they want. No returns. No hassles
just selecting something they really want and having
it delivered to their door. Think about it, how much
do you appreciate receiving gift cards? They're not
impersonal and certainly not in those instance where
you know stores where the person likes to shop. But
even if you don't stop and think about places where
someone can find anything, like
Target
or
Amazon.com.
Everybody knows them and if they can't find
anything they like or want you probably would have
faired much worse had you actually selected
something for them in lieu of a gift card. Think
about it.
I mention Target for lots of reasons of course their mix of hip, well designed yet useful products places them at the top of my list so I give and ask for gift cards from them. I love going to Target for my shopping and its where I go about once a month to buy all sorts of things to run my house, life and business. I have dogs so I'm the guy with the 16-pack of Brawny paper towels in the bottom of his cart. But I love snaking through the aisles with my cart and checking out what I need and whatever else pops into my view. I also love checking out the end-cap merchandise that has been marked down. Last time we were there we found this really cool dinner plates in a great color and they cost all of 44 cents per plate. Style and value. Yes, I'll gladly take a gift card from Target.
I enjoy shopping in their online store both their own and their store within Amazon.com. Also, you can use their gift cards in the store and online so that's great if someone likes Target but doesn't have a store where they live, they can shop online and still redeem their gift card.
Gift cards from the following are always appreciated:
AA.com Hilton Sephora
Amazon.com Hyatt SONY
Apple, Inc. Home Depot Spa Finder
Atlantis, Paradise Island Hotels.com Target
Banana Republic iTunes Ticketmaster
Barnes & Noble Kayak Travelocity
Best Buy Kimpton Hotels United Airlines
bloomingdale’s Legal Seafood Wal-mart
Cabela's Macy’s
Circuit City Marriott
Continental Airlines NetFlix
Dean & Deluca Nordstrom
Delta Airlines Northwest Airlines
Dillard's Saks Fifth Avenue
Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts Old Navy
Gap Priceline
Another great gift is a magazine subscription. It helps to know the person but again if you know anything about them you can select a publication for that topic, assuming it exists of course. For friends who like design and architecture I've given subscriptions to DWELL magazine. I love Architectural Digest but this is really great semi-new publication that tends to focus on modern design. Beautiful photography along with quality editorial makes for an interesting issue each time a new one arrives. Love it.

download your photo and include it into the gift card
which makes in more personal. Grand kids, whatever
makes sense. photo. of a trip you took together. In
short, a memory as a digital image included as an
element of the gift card that arrives with your gift
card.
This is a new e-gift card apparently available from Macy's. I'll post a link as soon as I locate it.
I love gift cards, for example I have a lot of friends who love Target and shop there all the time. Well, giving them a gift card is very thoughtful because they shop there already and love it so it's something they'll enjoy. From my perspective when I'm given a gift card its always somewhere I shop or can for a specialty item I'm looking for. Point is the recepeinet gets to buy exactly what he or she wants.
I really like the nice graphics on both the cyber and brick and mortar e-cards. I love them and my friends and family do too.
