So, what do you guys think about giving gift cards to SO's? I think it's probably the most unthoughtful gift possible. What would you think if you received one? I'm just wondering if there's any sort of general consensus.
If someone had no idea what I wanted I wouldn't mind a gift card, but if they just missed all the hints I purposely gave them I might be a little sad.laugh out loud A lot of men don't shop well.



Has anyone here sent out a gift return at the same time as some regular returns? I received emailed return confirmations for my regular items but I haven't gotten one for the gift return I dropped off at the store the same day.

honestly, i love gcs lol as long as they know it's a store you heart rather than just something random because they know you'll enjoy shopping there! and for sure you'll get yourself something you like rather than them guessing.
most of the time ppl shop for others the way they shop for themselves...they *think* if they like something you will too.. hehe i'm guilty of that Evillaugh
but honestly, most of the time i dont like the things others do so i prefer gc. i think gcs are the best presents for myself unless i specifically ask for something...even then, i am super specific of what i want/like...hahaa almost to the pt where it should be exactly the one i point out laugh out loud

I like getting GC's from other people, but not from my DH. I always ask for something specific that I usually wouldn't buy myself (like a trip or sports tickets). My DH had a habit of buying me a card & putting money in it for me to buy the tickets or book the trip. Mad I told him a couple years ago that I had the same access to our money that he did. Giving me money was the same as not getting me anything. He finally stepped up & bought me a gift the last couple years. It still wasn't exactly what I asked for, but he got what he thought I'd like more. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) He was probably right this year, but we won't tell him that. Secret If the only thing my DH got me was a GC, I'd be just as mad as when I got money. That is, if I gave him ideas of what I wanted. If I didn't give him some obvious hints or tell him exactly what I wanted, I wouldn't be mad, unless he got me a GC to Lowes or HD or somewhere like that. laugh out loud

I got an itunes gc from my SO. I don't use itunes...and have no idea why he would have picked it. I think after 2 years of dating, Christmas gifts should be a little more thoughtful...but maybe I'm just being difficult because I put a lot of thought into his.

I tell my DH to buy me GCs. because then i can get the gift i like. He used to be like non-gift giver lol after i told him how i would love to get special gifts he rushed to macys and bought me really expensive gold necklace on my bday 3 years back. I think it was super nice of him and ireally like the necklace but it was1.5k above and i thought he does not need to spend exactly too much on me like that so i told him buy me GCs and I am happy - now those gcs he get for me last me for almsot 6 month for things i want to buy, its a win-win for us.

ETA: before you all start bonking him again (which would be hilarious btw ) he buys me gifts but it is not on special occasions for THAT I had to tell him that how he should buy me gift on special occasions. He once bought me solitaire diamond pendant but i didn't like it so we had it exchanged the same day and then later on slowly i bought matching earrings and ring too Evillaugh

Now that would upset me if he bought something he knew i didnt use.

i would be upset, personally. i'd rather my dbf get me nothing than a gc. ESP an itunes one... that would be horrible as i'm an apple hater! i think we've decided it's too difficult to buy gifts so we're just not doing them. that doesn't mean i won't buy him presents when i see something i think he'll like. but it just means no pressure for holidays.

he's spent so much on my rings lately that i forgive him for not getting me anything for xmas. besides, he came to asia with me and that cost a lot. and most of the money we spent there was on stuff i bought for myself (and he provided the cash we exchanged - so really he funded for my shopping there).

Thanks so much for the reassurance, ladies...I was just so hurt by this whole thing...I thought I was just acting like a brat or something (of course, I didn't say anything to him...but I was just floored by the lack of thought)...thanks again for commenting.

Even if he thought I used itunes...I mean, really? Itunes?

Wow, that sucks. I thought he maybe got you a GC to somewhere you liked.

Next year, you now know just to get him a GC to itunes. That's probably what he wants.

Maybe you should mention something to him?

He does better than my DH. My DH never buys me anything "just because".

I told my DH one year that we weren't buying gifts. I meant we weren't spending a lot. He took it literally though. I didn't even get a card. I was heartbroken. I use that as ammo to guilt him into spending more on my gifts now. Evillaugh
