That's choosing between two things that aren't what the gift is supposed to be, though, isn't it? I always thought a person is supposed to think about the person for whom they are buying a gift and then give them something they could use or something they may want. Putting in a little thought about the person, right? Why else would you buy someone a gift? When people go the Old Navy clearance bin route for a gift just because they were on their way out of the mall that's just as bad. I have a closet full of fleece pullovers that don't fit me as well. I get at least 2 every year and one year my mother in law alone gave me two, having forgotten entirely that she had bought and wrapped the first one.

Have you considered that people don't like you and buy you things you can't use on purpose? Take a look in the mirror.

Please find me the nude bar that accepts random gift cards. I have a whole stack of the damn things. My wife's family pretty much only gives out gift cards for any event and we never get around to using any of them. It's always to the most useless places too... never a Lowe's or a Stop and Shop. It's always Christmas Tree Shops or Kohl's or Bill-Bob's Cajun-Australian Gouda Emporium.
