I never really use this anymore. Perhaps I should get back in the habit. It's just hard to open up when you know all of your friends are going to be reading what you have to say

So I am completely with you on the rampant consumerism thing...and that christmas is fun because people take time to make up suprises.
But I do think that there are cases when a gift-card can be a thoughtful gift.
Like with leoshan...he loves books. he has lots of books...if i bought leoshan a barnes & noble gift card it would be because I know he loves books, but I don't know if he owns particular ones already.
So I think that it is contextual! But swearing off of them is not a bad plan, cuz sometimes we just need to think about people's wants and needs more.
