I know this isn't helping OP, but I'm wondering why people give gift cards for Christmas. I give kids over 14 a card with a nice plastic portrait of William Lyon Mackenzie King. Saves me a lot of time and them a lot of hassle. I buy toys for younger kids but I've always noticed older kids prefer to get their own.
What is the benefit of gift cards? IMO it's not like it's *actually* not cash, it really is, just a bigger hassle to spend it. Not trying to hijack the thread, just curious.
