I only give to those who I know will use them (my kids, sister, sis-in-law). <br /><br />Our book group would always give a gift card to members moving away from the group; a nice parting gift, and the person moving could keep up with the group's selections for several months.Dawn - She is Too Fond of Bookshttp://www.sheistoofondofbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-64586487439230615562009-05-26T06:08:56.146+05:302009-05-26T06:08:56.146+05:30Hi, Gautami! here's mine:

It's hard for others to know what to get me. <br /><br />Since I live so far away from most of my family, gift cards are very convenient not to mention cost efficient. If I get them a gift card to a major chain like B&N, Amazon, or Borders, they are free to choose music and movies among other things just as easily as books. So, even for nonreaders, I have found bookstore gift cards extremely useful.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263295136331930331.post-72824541234103406602009-05-25T06:54:05.568+05:302009-05-25T06:54:05.568+05:30I agree.
