My bank offers Visa Gift Cards of whatever value you choose, that can be used anywhere that accepts Visa. That's what I gave last time I gave a gift card. I figure if the person I'm giving a gift too needs to buy groceries or something more than something from a specific store, than let them do what is best for them.

They can be purchased from Walmart, too, but only in specific denomations and they have Walmart on them which I thought might be confusing to the person receiving the card if they are not familiar with Visa gift cards, they might think it's a Walmart gift card.

Just a thought.

I saw that list too and like to give gift cards to people. I think I will just get the Visa gift cards instead. That way, they can choose where to spend them, and I don't have to worry.

Hard times are definitely here. It's really sad.

I didn't see the email, but I saw it on CNN over the weekend - it was saying that some gift cards might also have hidden fees that people are unaware of.
