Personally, if I had to choose between giving/receiving a gift card or cash, I'd chose cash in both instances. They're both meant to be spent, the difference is that gift cards sometimes limit you to purchases only, whereas cash can be used to pay bills or even put into an account for savings purposes. Cash just seems much more flexible.
Much prefer gift cards provided I choose the place. My mom understands that a B&N giftcard or an Itunes giftcard will provide me with opportunities to buy things I might not buy with a cash gift.
I prefer gift cards, but that has only been true for the last year or so. As my husband and I began to prepare for an upcoming move we found ourselves prioritizing & de-cluttering our belongings. Amongst the many items I happily donated to GoodWill I found a disturbing number of gifts & purchases that I remember receiving in the past 1-3 years! I don't want my family to spend their money on things I will so quickly donate, so I've decided gift cards are a better, more thoughtful purchase for both them & me.
I'd rather not get either, but I do have 2 little girls and for them I'd rather get cash. That way I can use it for either something they really need or for classes or camp, etc.
It depends! For example, I love to receive gift cards to the movie theatre and restaurants in our neighborhood, because it lets me feel like I can treat myself. The nice thing about receiving cash is that I can put it into the bank and it can help fund my savings!
Cash is great, but I might use it on some random thing instead of a thoughtful gift from another person. So I think gift cards are better because then at least your not spending the gift on bills or groceries!
Well i already have an experience of purchasing a house with cash therefore many of them i know already but those people never buy house or first time home buyer may face various troubles while purchasing a house on cash, but if they collect some appropriate information then they can avoid these troubles easily.
I make gluten free fish sticks (coat small pieces of fish w/ GF flour and spices and then fry), lunch meat roll-ups, rice with sausage and spinach, meatballs, GF fried chicken, and even refried beans in taco shells for my son's GFCF lunch. I just add a coconut flour muffin or homemade cookie, fruit and veggies.
I wish I had thought of the Christmas decorations idea in time for the article You are right about a great fit for larger decorations! thanks!
Thanks Monica! Great idea!
I liked Wise Bread on Facebook.
I prefer cash, but I think some people don't like to give cash, and think gift cards are more acceptable.

Cash! That way you can use it anywhere. Although, gift cards do seem a little more personal.

GIFT CARDS - MONEY I MAY FRITTER AWAY ON "STUFF" BUT THE CARD I WILL USE FOR A GIFT TO ME

Definitely cash. It's more flexible. I always forget about giftcards.

Love it... you get to see and experience your city with a whole new perspective. Can't beat that.
Oh wow, we need a Megabus and Bolt out here... that sounds like a major upgrade from the buses I've experienced.
