Do you give gift certificates to book stores as presents? If so, do you give for actual stores or online stores? Do you like to receive them yourself?
I do like to give gift certificates as presents. Unfortunately I don't know many people who enjoy reading (sigh). When I do buy gift certificates, it's usually for Borders or Barnes & Noble. That way they can also buy a DVD or CD.
I, on the other hand, prefer to receive a gift certificate. I've been told on numerous occasions that I'm hard to buy for when it comes to books. To make it easier for them to purchase a book for me, I will either tell them a title of the book to buy or make a list of titles that they can choose from. Normally, I just say "you can always just give me a gift card." For Christmas, one of my presents is always a gift card to Borders.
I feel exactly the same way! I don't have many people to buy books for so I do use Amazon because they can get things besides books.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I love getting gift certificates to book stores.
