With 19 days to go  before Christmas, Teys and I talk about our gifts.  This year we’ll be going for something that we had custom made.  Its actually a surprise so I would not say much of it now.  If you really don’t know what to give, a gift check or card would do.  That way, you give the recipient the freedom to choose his or her gift.  In the US, I remember major retailers having this.  Target, Borders, etc.

An easy way to get gift cards would be to go to the gift card mall. Here you can get cards for sellers like Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond and iTunes.  You can also select the design you want. They have 18 holiday themed cards out this season. Customizable cards are also available.  Values are typically $25 -$100 but you can put in some other amount as you order.The cards can be shipped to your intended recipient.

Gift cards are a convenient way of giving gifts.  Until we have them in the Philippines, we’ll just have to make do with gift certificates.  Happy shopping!
