Despite Seth Godin’s post about the evils of gift cards, I love to give and receive them. To me, it is a way to communicate that you know what the person likes but still give them the freedom to choose what they really want from that store. Today, I was on a quest to buy a Lowe’s gift card, two Best Buy gift cards and two Old Navy gift cards. I was all set for my trek around town until I remembered that I had seen some gift cards in pharmacies every now and then. So, I stopped at our local Rite Aid here in Watkinsville and found next to nothing. They had a few, but nothing I wanted. Just as I was about to give up, I remembered the CVS right across the street. Jackpot! I don’t know about your local CVS, but I have never seen so many gift cards in one place. They had a movable display broken up into 4 categories of literally dozens of stores and restaurants around town and around the country. There were cards from JC Penney, Old Navy, Circuit City, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Southwest Airlines, Spa Finder- you name it, they probably have it- there were well over 50 different cards. So, if you are a fan of giving gift cards, CVS may save you a lot of driving this holiday season. By the way, if you are looking for a gift card to buy me, here you go. 🙂
