Perhaps gift cards are the preferred gift these days, for Christmas, birthdays, wedding registries, baby showers etc. Soon we will just exchange gift cards of equal amounts. Or people will give a $50 gift card and either be annoyed that they got significantly less or embarrassed when they got significantly more. Why bother I wonder.

This is why the stupidest gift I can think of is the gift card. It's practically offensive...

It means nothing, except you can't think of anything the person would like, and you might as well just give a check. That's what it is, a limited-use check. Nothing more.

What exactly is this ridiculous mystique of the gift card???
