I've receive around 20 gifts every year. I usually don't like 15. Why? because they either give me shirts which are too big, things I already own, or books I will never read. Yeah, I know this is going to make me sound like a ungrateful jackass, but if I'm going to get something I don't like I'd rather get nothing at all.
Which got me thinking... has there been a major breakthrough in gift-giving since a gift lists in stores like Bed, Bad and Beyond? Oh yes ladies and gentlemen, there has been... gift cards. Most people tag them as inappropriate but that's probably because they have never gotten one. Gift cards are amazing because you get what you want... last year I got two gift cards, one from a book store (from which I got Ender's Game, thank you very much) and an American Express gift card (Guitar Hero 3). Amazing stuff. So this year half my gifts where things I knew the person wanted and half were gift cards from stores I knew they would like!
