Original Commentary
I don't understand gift cards. I got them for people, but I still don't get why it's ok to give someone $25 that expires and that they can only spend at one place, but it's not ok to give them $25 cash. I think gift cards are the biggest advertising-perpetrated scam since diamonds. That said, I got gift cards for a bunch of people on my Christmas list because it's easier.

Also, when I originally wrote this, Brisbane and Kimberly's lines were all reversed. Then I re-read it and realized it had to be the other way - Terrence

Modern Commentary
Yeah, I mainly do giftcards for Christmas presents now. I think that checks would be better, except nobody wants to deal with the hassle of writing or cashing a check these days - Terrence
