To Gift Card or Not To Gift Card
Giving gift cards has always been a controversial subject. It can be seen as the easy-way to give a present instead of putting in extra thought. In many cases, giving a gift card has been seen as impersonal, but there are a few cases when giving a gift card is actually the thoughtful thing to do. Here are three instances where giving a gift card is okay: 1. If it is for a service. If you know your wife loves getting her hair done at a particular salon, giving a gift card is fine. Services like hair salons, massages, or nail salons are a luxury and giving a gift card is giving your loved one a chance to spoil themselves. 2. If it’s a side present. Gift cards are great gifts if they are not the main attraction. If your fiance goes down to the nail salon every week, then slip her the gift card with the flowers.

3. If you have run out of time. This is conditional - You must be honest. You still must put thought into it. You must not be cheap. Why is this acceptable? Because rushing to your wife’s favorite masseuse shows effort. Gas station roses...not so much...
