[QUOTE="donna723, post: 334013, member: 1883"] For birthdays for my grown kids (son, daughter, sister in law) I've started giving them gift cards too. It works much better than trying to guess and pick out things they would like. My (out of state) daughter and sister in law's birthdays are within a few days of each other and when they first bought their house, I gave them gift cards to Lowe's because they had several projects going on. They loved it! Now for their birthdays I give all three of them pre-paid Visa cards that I buy at the bank and they can get what they want. They only cost $5 over the amount of the card and they don't lose value or ever expire (not that they would go that long without spending them!). I give my son the pre-paid Visas too, and since he lives near where I do, I usually get him a few things to open up and sometimes dinner and/or a movie. It's so much easier when your 'kids' aren't kids any more! I AM very careful which cards I buy! A lot of people got ripped off when they bought gift cards to stores that went out of business before the cards could be used! [/QUOTE]
