A gift card comes in many forms. There are pre-paid or pre-loaded credit cards like a Visa gift card or American express gift card. There are specific dollar value gift cards that can be used at a select number of stores, for instance a restaurant gift card that can be used at chain restaurants. There are cards for specific stores like Macys or a Toys R Us gift card. The choice of the type of gift card is huge and that is one area that makes giving gift cards a bit dicey.Choosing who you give a gift card to should be well thought out. For example, if you give your wife a Lowes gift card and she has not specifically asked for one, you may be in hot water! Yet, if you choose to give her a Victoria's Secret gift card, packaged in a box of yummy chocolates, you could receive a great big kiss.

Alternatively, giving co-workers a Starbucks gift card would be a very nice gesture and appreciated. Personal, deep thought usually is not required for co-worker gifts. You see, that is where gift cards can get you in trouble. Some people feel that a gift card is an "easy way out," and not much personal thought has not gone into the giving.So, are gift cards a safe bet as a gift? Most of the time, yes. Yet, if the person receiving the gift card is a close friend or relative, you may wish to add something extra to it. Plus, take extra care in the choice of the type of card you give.Give a gift card that means something to the person receiving it. If the person loves to shop at Macy's, then a Macy's gift card would be appropriate. Package it inside a pretty wrapped box with a personal note that says something like: "I know how much you love to shop at Macy's, have loads of fun with this gift!"
