Having root canal without anesthtic, followed by a mammogram, then enduring a full body wax (including my head) would be infinitely more pleasurable to me than shopping. Giving a gift card to someone who hates to shop is a pointless gift.
It's like saying - I hate to shop, and I don't know you well enough to know what to get you so go shop for your own damn gift.
Cash is a little better cause then i can do that wretched activity in the store of my choosing rather than the store the chose for me.
But honestly I'm old enough now to realize that if someone doesn't know what to get me-- don't get me anything... make a charitable contribution in my name to an organization you know i support and put that money to good use rather than getting me -- or makig me get crap I don't need or just send a card to let me know you thought of me.
