What are the person's interests? Quoting: NowHeather Why so? Giving someone cash as a gift lows them to buy whatever they want instead of being tied into whatever store card you get them. If it makes it better ill give new unmarked bills and say happy birthday! |

Its something you have to earn by getting up everyday and busting your ass 40+ hours per week. The fact that i think of giving someone some of this hard earn cash in physical form should be worth more than made in china junk. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13490739 ??? There's nothing wrong with giving cash as a gift, in fact it's my preferred gift of choice if you don't know what to get me. It gives me the option of getting whatever I want... |
