I think the idea behind gift certificates is that the person put a little more thought into the gift instead og just giving cash. Of course, this often backfires as the person receiving the gift certificate has no use for it whatsoever. I prefer to give (and receive) cash so that the person receiving the gift (or myself) can do with it as we see fit. If we want to pay bills or get a hooker with it, that's our prerogative.

But perhaps a better debate would be gift vs. gift certificate? Who do you trust more to get something you want? Your family or yourself?
