So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Post-Christmas musing. Thursday, December 27, 2007 @ 1:31 pm Why is cash considered to be an inappropriate/tacky gift? Like gift cards are so much better: they're much more restrictive and are actually a very clever ploy on the part of retailers to basically ensure they get money for nothing. Speaking only for myself, in most cases, I'd much rather get cash than a gift card or many other presents. That way, I can make sure I get what I really want as a gift. Or, you know, pay off some bills (which in itself is as great a gift as I can give myself). Because, really... what the hell do I want with an article of clothing that may not be my style? Why would I want a gift card from some place I rarely shop at? I don't. Just stick some cash in that birthday/Christmas card and I'll be happy. I won't think it's tacky or inappropriate at all. On the contrary, it's the best present I could ever conceive of. 3 Comments. re:comment Thanks for the comment ^__^ Oh wow, every time I eat I gain weight...hahaha I was eating a slice of pumpkin pie when I read your comment! » Mockiller on 2007-12-27 07:37:24 a suggestion from me would be getting a wish list. that's so much better. i started doing it for my birthday and i find it more effective. but no one gave me cash when i started it in my wish list! » renaye on 2007-12-27 09:25:25 I love how people say that gift cards are the perfect gift, but it's only the perfect gift if that's what you want. you can get someone a gift card to a store they never shop at ... it's not a perfect gift any longer. haha, I know what you're saying though. I like the gift card I got, but I'd miss getting cash. » LostSoul13 on 2007-12-28 05:23:33
