would you prefer a gift or gift card or cash?

Well now that depends on who it is from... \n\nIf it's from a close relative or friend, I would expect they know something about me that I like.. so a gift, even if it's from a dollar store, if it's a caring gesture, could mean more than diamonds.\n\nIf that nice thought is represented in a gift card so I can pick out what I want.. then it depends on what they THINK I like...a gift card to get my nails done for me is cool.. but if it's to Micky D's... then they have the WRONG picture of who I am, so giving a gift at all is inappropriate.\n\nCASH?... That's a hard one... that would during times of co-workers that took a collection that have no idea what you would want, or what you already have, but want to give you a bit of spending cash to further whatever the occasion is.. such as a housewarming.. or baby shower.. but it has to be given with the most thoughtful card or flowers to show that they cared enough to give a little something nice.. and the cash is a bonus.

Pick out a great card and be sure to include a recent picture of yourself. It is also fun to toss in a Lotery Ticket or scratch-off. As for the gift, Get a gift card from a store you know he shops at. The card and picture will be most cherrished so don't sweat the gift card as much as your card and picture.

i would go to your local mall and get a visa gift card...it works just like a gift card but it is done through visa.  you tell them the amount you want to put on it and the receiver can use it anywhere visa is accepted, so you dont have to worry about picking the wrong place...i got one as a gift and i loved it!\n\nhere is the website with information about it, you can even purchase it online if youd like!\nhttp://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepaid/visa_gift_card.html

One of my favorite "short on cash" kinds of presents is coupons.  This happens a lot between me and my wife.  I use the computer to make them nice, but they're still almost free to do - and can be for anything... walks in the park, romantic dinners, rent a movie together, Sunday drive, anything. \n\nRemember, the people who love you most value being with you over anything material that you could buy for them.\n\nMerry Christmas!

A million and one good wishes. A gift is not required but if you want to give these people a present, put a little thought into it and shop for something you believe will please them. Cash and gift cards are tacky, especially for such a major milestone.

Give what you can.  If it's only a card or small gift, so be it.  It's not about giving gifts, it's about giving of yourself.

It depends on how much you want to spend. Maybe a Stereo for his car, or a necklace, or a shirt, or a CD, or just a nice card with a gift card from his favorite store.

If I would really be getting a 10,000 dollar gift card (depending on where to)I'd say (almost) anything you wanted to hear.  Guess we can both keep wishing.

yes I would consider giving five dollar gift cards to two hundred diffrent people, five dollars goes a long way.  Here in the United States people do not think five dollars is much, at least not any more  'I am 48 born in 58"  So of course I know the meaning of a quarter .25  cents.  \n\nAnd if the unspent value went to a fair trade organisation, endorsed by Oprah "Harpo"  yes I would although $50.00 might be the most I could send.

It all depends on what kinds of rewards you want.  For example, I shop a lot from amazon.com and found their Visa useful because I get a $25 gift certificate for every 2500 points.  Do you travel much, tired of spending a lot on gas?  Those are the types of things to consider.  I don't think a single card will be your answer.

a gift certificate or money... women enjoy shopping and she'll have fun picking something out for herself. A visa giftcard is always nice.

a gift basket of cheeses and sausages would be nice. or even better instead of trying to think of something, just stop by a nice resturant (not so expensive) such as applebees, logans, etc and get a gift card

I think it would be cool to get him something that he can remember you by like maybe getting a personalized gift at the store Things Remembered.\nThere is always the Gift Card option too that way you know he will be getting something he wants or can use.

My fave cute gift is a gift certificate for say In N Out or McDonalds or something and a sweet Christmas card. They come in $5 increments, so it would be cheap and something they would actually use.

I would just think abou how much you would normally spend on gifts for them and give them that amount on a gift card.  If you would normally just buy them a DVD or something like that, $20 would be appropriate.  If you normally buy them something more than that, adjust the gift card accordingly.  I would say, since they are your sisters, giving less than $20 would be a little cheap, unless you are really strapped for cash and then they will understand.  I personally would give my sisters $40 or so, just because then they can buy something they want, anywhere from cds/dvds to clothes or whatever they happen to like.  It totally depends on your situation though and what you have given them in the past and what you can afford now.

give her a gift card or just listen to her and see if there is something she has been saying she would like that would fit your budget
