I try not to give gift cards because of the whole "If everyone gives each other gift cards/cash, why bother?" thing. But I'm also not above asking family members "Hey, give a few ideas of what you want for Christmas." which helps. I had to get my brother a gift card this year because I normally get him a video game of some kind, but he's been off in the Navy and buying video games left and right to give him something to do while at sea, so I have no idea what he does and doesn't have at this point.
As for recieving gift cards, I don't mind, as long as it's somewhere I shop anyway. Best Buy being the the preferred, simply because I'm likely to spend money there anyway, so if the card doesn't cover the whole thing, it's fine.

Sarameg, have you tried under the desk?
I love a mother that buys her daughter a dagger.
Guess what my dad brought me back from China?
I love gift certificates if they are to a place I enjoy. Money I have to spend on myself--yahoo! I give my nieces and nephews Amazon gift cards. I've done so for the last five years and they seem to LOVE them. I remember being a kid and wanting to pick out my own music and not having enough money to do so and I assume it's the same with them.

It's always a possibility. Also, I have a cubicle wall so if I sit close enough to the desk, you can't see me from the door.
Though they may be on to that.
I'm going to split with my wife and proclaim that I am pro-gift card in a lot of cases.
Bold move, my friend. Bold. Move.
Intelligent Design in biology class in Dover, PA? Not so much.

I'm amazed by all the people on this page who walked 6-8 miles to work today. I think 3 miles would have been about my limit for walking.

You know, P-moon, I thought you staying in town was going to prevent this.
