My family, that lives at a distance, used to give me gift certificates when they couldn't think of what to buy, which I think is fair. But since not all stores are in every area, they started giving me AMEX gift checks. That's even better, they are good as cash everywhere and they can be turned into cash (I think) if necessary.
If I received money, like several have already said, it would probably go to pay bills, buy groceries, etc.
