Gift Cards Are The Way
to Go
By: Isabella Mesa
“It’s the thought that counts” yeah, well tell that to my useless
present. Even though, the previous sentence sounds as conceited as
Paris Hilton, it’s true. It takes ages for people to decide what to get
others. People ask their friends, look online. I’ve seen a billion videos
dedicated to this topic. All along the answer’s been right there… you
guessed it… gift cards. Now, don’t be afraid, as unknown and
uncommon as they are (and come), they are the clear solution. When I
receive a gift card, I’m instantly pleased. I can buy whatever I want.
There is no limit! Well… okay, there might be, but still. A gift card
brings such a broad variety of options, especially when it’s somewhere
like Target or Amazon. You might be thinking now, that even though
I’m right, a gift card shows no effort or care. It’s an un-emotionally
detached present. Well, it doesn’t have to be. If I know that my friend
thrives on makeup, then why not buy her a Sephora gift card? If my
cousin’s a total (wannabe) hipster, then Urban Outfitters is your best
friend. One of the best parts about gift cards is that you can show how
well you know a person, without being specific. My friend can love
books but what if she has a secret hatred for dystopian novels. No
worries, with a Barnes and Nobles gift card she can easily get a book
she’s been dying for. With the holidays approaching, there is no need
to worry. You are welcome.
