Husband (not mine) in LQS buying for his wife
I stopped by my LQS today to pick up a few items. While I was there, a gentleman stopped in to buy a gift card for his wife. He was going around to five different LQSs and getting a $50 gift card from each. How sweet is that!

My adult son always buys me a large gift card at my LQS. The first time he did he talked with the owner. Julia gave him a 10% discount for buying the card. He told me she gave him a "dude" discount. The gift card is easy for him and GREAT for me!

I ALWAYS prefer either cash or gift cards for birthday, anniversary
and Holidays.
The way I look at it is this way I can buy what I WANT and if it is
the wrong size, color or whatever its nobody's fault but my own.
My husband has only ONCE in 11 years together gone into a craft/
hobby/sewing/fabric type of store to get me a gift card for my birthday.
Now he just hands me cash or tells me to go buy what I want and
gives me my "limit" to spend.
One year for my birthday he did go to the dealer where I bought my
sewing/embroidery machine and got me the walking foot that fit. And this
past June he went to the Spa down the street and got me a FULL service
"signature" treatment package which was a 2 hour massage, 2 hour
facial, 2 hour pedicure & Manicure. It was AWESOME. I am ready for another
facial and massage. LOL

my hubby goes to the lqs every year and shops---the ladies take him under their caring wings and guide him around showing him the newest items to come in-and telling him the things (i should have) he also sneaks into my sewing room before going to check & see how my blade supply is- machine needles- what ever else he can think of- it is always such a treat to see what he came up with to stuff my stocking 
he has never bought anything i do not use---unlike myself-
and the ladies at the shop love to see him coming
