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
