They are similar to giving cash - something thoughtless, cold and an easy way out for those too lazy, or perhaps too wrapped up, to get a real gift. Hence maybe they're not an idea at all. It is too bad that they've become so popular. Tells you the direction this world is heading. Depending on the situation, a gift card can be very fitting: A new house - home store. A new baby - baby store. A new diet - candy store! Never tried a Visa gift card but thanks for revealing the hidden catch(es)!
