Gift Cards - I Like ‘Em! | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/01/02/gift-cards-i-like-em/#comment-9532 mjmcinto Thu, 03 Jan 2008 14:22:54 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/01/02/gift-cards-i-like-em/#comment-9532 I think gift cards can be used as a very thoughtful gift, and I did so this year for my sister and her husband. They have 2 kids (5 and 1.5), and while they're doing ok financially, they wouldn't splurge and go to some of the nicer restaurants in the area (if they would even go out at all...they only go out once every couple of months). So, for christmas, my wife and I got them a gift card to a really nice restaraunt, a gift card to the movies, and we made a gift certificate for a sleepover for the kids at our place (we'd do this anyways, but it just completed the gift). That way they can treat themselves to a really nice night out, and not have to worry about the kids etc. I think gift cards can be used as a very thoughtful gift, and I did so this year for my sister and her husband.
