Oh, Woodlandcreature, you made me smile. You and your retirement gifts.I have a gift card left from my retirement for a local theatre that is four years old. Retired than COVID and now it really is time to use it! It is money in hand and it must be spent. Tee-Hee-Hee. I have a little box of gift cards and certificates and I put new cards in there to cool down. Then when I NEED something, a book, a backing, a new sweater or what ever, I then go to my little box of gifts and often find a card that will do. I helps me stretch my gifts out a little. I did get a card to a local quilt shop this year for Christmas and it was burning a hole in my hand. I put it in the cool down box and my hand is feeling better.
