I'm gonna drop a sub because this video seemed relatively high quality and brought up some good points. Glad the algo let me stumble upon your channel!
I reasoned with my grandparents that giftcards are basically just gifting money but shittier, and after about 15-20 mins of explaining they agreed ...and then a month after i got a giftcard, i got it for christmas and i still have no clue what to spend it on, id have money to spend on nice stuff but now i have a problem because i technically have the money but not really why is giving money as a gift so bad exactly??? and if even, why is giving a worse version of money a good gift?? i dont get it
Best way to deal with gift cards its to reason with friends and family to give you money instead. Just think about it rationally: gift card is just money but worse and somehow we came to conclusion that you can't give money but can gift card. Maybe its the name? Anyhow, I hate gift cards.

i often let my gift cards run out, never using them. once a cinema was baffled when i pulled up with a 8 year old gift card
Did they still accept it though? 😂

There should be a thing like gift money hahaha
I agree a hundred percent! Either it is some kind of personal (and physical) present or money...gift cards are the worst of both worlds
In my culture is perfectly normal to gift money. U put the money in red packets
@@risd1071 Where are you from?
Never had this issue, but I can see how it could be
hey starting jewerly here you still got that gem cutter i could us one if you dont need it anymore
Unfortunately I don't have it any more..besides it was rather a toy imo..
I always responsibly use the gift card as soon as i can drag my ass to the store (~3-4 months) because it has nothing i want to begin with
Good strategy 🫡 What kinda store u talking about?
