The Ultimate Guide to Gift Cards: How to Choose the Perfect Gift

Have you ever wondered if giving someone a “ Gift Card” is the right gift choice? Well I am here to tell you that you are not alone. Sometimes you may feel that “Gift Cards are not personable and they lack thought. Well I am here to tell you that I now partially disagree. I believe you have to look at each person as an individual.

In my opinion, I think there are 3 types of individuals that you may come across in your lifetime that you are on the hunt for that “Perfect Gift”. These individuals I believe are best suited for the “Gift Card”.

First, you have your “Minimalist”. You have some people who consider themselves as minimalist and they prefer to receive a gift card so that can purchase what they need only when they need it. These are the type of individuals that don’t like to be wasteful or have a lot of clutter laying around there home. A cluttered home leaves a cluttered mind. So purchasing a gift that they may never use to only repurpose it may be a waste of your time, effort and hard earned money. I say if you have a minimalist in your life a “Gift Card” is the way to go.

Next, you have your “I have everything I need individual”. This is the type of person who has everything and the kitchen sink so going out to purchase a gift, you may end up giving them something that they already have. Most won’t tell you that they already have that item for the sake of not being rude. They will accept the gift and may never use it or they may regift to someone else. Hopefully it’s not you.

Finally, you have the “I prefer cash or gift cards only individual”. This type of person may never like any gift that is given because they are very particular in the things that they like. I am guilty. I can sometimes be this individual. So in this instance a “Gift Card” would be the better option.

Whatever you decide, I will always stand firm that its the thought that counts.

Happy Gifting!
