What's Wrong With Giving Cash As a "Gift"?
I cant think of anything to give to someone i care about. I was told by several people that giving cash is not good idea. I personally think its better than gift cards or buying junk they may not like. Why is giving cash such a "taboo"?

I think some people might think it's impersonal. What are the person's interests?

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!

To know means to know all. Not to know all means not to know. In order to know all, it is only necessary to know a little. But, in order to know this little, it is first necessary to know pretty much.

I'd take cash over no gift at all.

Re: What's Wrong With Giving Cash As a "Gift"?
no..anybody can give cash

it's a lazy gift because you didn't try or care

yes you can feel better thinking the recipient can truly buy what they want but you could have got them something from you that you knew they wanted badly enough that they wouldn't buy for themselves..the thought is way more valuable- a connection that they will have every time they look at your gift that came from your heart

9teen I've never had anyone refuse cash along with a Christmas or birthday card. It sure beats figuring out what a 10 year old really wants.

So cash doesnt come from the heart? 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.

It's OK to give cash if you can't be bothered to come up with a suitable gift. You just have to give 3 times as much money as the suitable gift would have cost you, or it will come off as cheap.

Your choice.

??? 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...
