Article is a bit old but gift cards are pretty much free money for the amount of effort the makers actually put in

Seriously, just give cash. It's like a gift card, except better in every way.

Anyone fans of $.99/Dollar stores?

They are delightfully depressing places. I sometimes go to them to buy odd little poo poo for the kitchen that I cannot justify spending more than a few bucks on.

Except the stuff that would be prohibitive to ship, you can usually get prices barely above cost online these days.
