Post-Holiday (Golightly) Shopping

 

Okay, so who got a gift card?

Me too!!! 

How long do you typically wait to use it?

Over the holidays I overheard my sister say "Mom, I still have that gift card you got me for my birthday".

Her birthday is in April.

That is either:

1) Incredible evidence of patience and willpower

or

2) She just forgot she had it, until we started talking about gift cards at Christmas

(my money is on #2 - this is the same sister who occasionally forgets to eat - FORGETS??? TO EAT???) 

I received (coincidentally enough) a gift card to DSW, from this same sister, for Christmas.

I just used it, last night (January 5).

And for ME, THAT was waiting.  I had been proudly swaggering around since December 26, smugly pointing out - to anyone who would listen - that I still had a Christmas gift card.  That I hadn't even used yet!

Okay, patience is not one of my strong suits.  

 

Is the photo of the shoes too big?

I didn't think so either.

I used to get my family all gift cards, but it's hard finding an H dealer who'll sell them these days. Now I just get them needle-based gift sets.

You may or may not already know this, too, but some states charge interest on gift cards you don't spend...so hopefully you live somewhere that doesn't! I bought a bunch of my family members gift cards this year through the Leveragecard site, primarily due to the registration and free swap features (actually you can swap and register cards you didn't buy through Leverage, too, but I had just read the article and it was fresh in my mind...actually I'm exchanging an applebees card right now because I want those shoes!!).
