Is a gift certificate a good gift?

Many many people like them.  I\n\nOn the other hand... It can be viewed as a  gift given to someone from someone saying "Here, I don't know what to get you so go figure it out yourself".\n\nI think it makes the giver of the gift look rather like a deadhead, someone who won't take the time or can't pick out simple gift for someone they care about.

It's more important what the gift is as opposed to how much you spend.  For example, homemade cookies or a book on a topic you know is of particular interest to the person would be more personal (as opposed to $ value).

Ahoy my fellow Canadian.  There are many unique and wonderful gift shops in whatever province you subside.  They may appreciate something of an artistic nature that neither of them has or a gift certificate to a store that you think they might like to shop at.  It's hard when people are going through the second or third marriage and don't really need anything.  Myself I'm in Northern Ontario and know for a fact that there are a lot of artisan spots that have different gifts for affordable prices (well within your budget). Good luck shopping and to your landlord in his new life.

Sounds like you bought services worth $160, not gift certificates worth $160 in cash. If you paid for a service, you gotta pay tax. If you're buying a true gift certificate which can later be used like cash, then there shouldn't be any tax (at least not in the US, and I would guess these rules are universal).

I agree with the Big Lots bit;  it's amazing what you can find.  Also, I just posted this to a question above, but it works here:\n\nAn inexpensive but personal gift for someone is a recipe basket. It's useful for people who like to cook. Basically, you write up a favorite recipe from your home (perhaps one that you inherited), go out and purchase all of the non-perishable items needed, and then pack all of it up in a basket. You can get baskets at yard sales and secondhand shops for almost nothing. Put on a ribbon or a bow, and you have a very fine and thoughtful gift. \n\nAlso, making cookies or baked goods and delivering them is always appreciated.  You can also gear the items to the tastes of the recipients.

Yes, giving a gift is something for your boss to remember you for. You can be able to probably get a good reference letter in the future from your Boss.

Well, if it's a baby that is being baptized, maybe a photo frame with a photo of the event?  If it's an older child or adult, a greeting card with a gift certificate or gift card from a local Christian bookstore would be good.  If you know the person well, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a gift (with a religious theme) that fits with the person's individual tastes in a local Christian bookstore.  Also, don't be shy when it comes to asking a sales clerk at the store.

Buy.com is completely independent from other internet retailers like Amazon.  So, no, you can't use gift certificates from one store at the other.

Gift certificates to most any main store,  place to eat, or for a pedicure or manicure.   It depends on her interests.  I always like to pick what I really want.

I like the gift card idea. I would not go over $50 and not less than $25. If your going to do anything it would be an insult to send less. Good luck

since you did not post his age and I guess you know what he likes... a gift certificate for $50.00 would be a great gift, because there is no way you can go wrong on that. Whatever he gets with them will be your gift.
