Gonna side with Fo3 a bit here: gift cards can suck. There was/is a thing here where one could buy a "box" with something, like a wine tasting or a bed-n-breakfast stay or something, and there'd be a dozen or two participating places. More than once I tried to use one and the good places were closed down, there were nothing nearby, stupid stipulations like only Mon-Thursday for a dinner, etc. Oh, or the best one, poo poo would expire after a year, but for a fee one could extend another year! Bullshit.

We have a three year old gift card sitting for some famous cake place that I'm not 100% sure where is and whether is expired.

I've sworn off gift cards. I recommend giving the amount in cash, with a stipulation. For example, I got the equivalent of $35 from my brothers for Christmas one year with orders to go spend it at this fancy cheese shop. I did, it was amazing, the total didn't come to exactly $35 but fuckit that didn't matter, everybody was happy. Everything that a gift card can do was accomplished with none of the restrictions.

Maybe where Amazon is available it's basically cash, but where it isn't...

Edit: on a different note, I just made hot chocolate with real 60% chocolate and even for a first stab with no real recipe it was AMAZING! Can recommend.

Hey, do these fine forums have a dedicated Fusion 360 thread, or, barring that, a CAD/CAM thread?
