My family exchanges gift cards for Christmas and wondered if anyone had any fun ideas for cards. No boring cards please (stores, gas stations, etc.)!

Thank you!

Well, a lot depends on their taste, ages, etc...

Some good places for GC would be iTunes, Amazon.com, Pier 1, IKEA, or a fun restaurant (Buffalo Wild Wings or good local place).

Spa gift cards for the ladies!

Maybe for a family you could get a GC to a hotel chain or an amusement park?

Lots of choice on gift card sites. A child might like legos.com, a race fan Nascar.com I even found one for scuba diving.

Last year I got a set of 4 margarita glasses and inside the box was
a nice GC to a local Mexican restaurant.

Theres always a pound of coffee (Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks) with a
GC taped to it.

Magazine subscription gift certificate, car wash, Peapod (where you can
order you groceries on line and then they are delivered right to your door)

Good Luck

membership to local zoo or other local attaction. The whole family can use it and they can go as often as they want. (especially useful for a family with smaller kiddos)

We have a grocery store that sells tons of gift cards and for every 50.00 you spend you get 10 cents of gas

Movie tickets!! Our most favorite gift was a set of dinner cards with movie ticket gift certificates. We've even given the movie ones before and they are always a big hit!

+ babysitting while they're at the movie/dinner if they have children

This depends on a lot of factors such as who is the GC for, your budget, what do they need, what do they want?

How about Sharper Image? They have some pretty cool products for around $50.

I like putting them in a container relating to the subject of the GC. Like popcorn box with movie tickets in them. Happy Meal box with McD GC in them.
