I hate to say it, but I think this gift card craze has gone too far.  I mean, I enjoy not putting any thought or effort into the gift-giving process as much as the next guy, but now they’re selling gift cards for places like gas stations.  You’d really have to be running low on info about somebody if the most personalized you can get is a gas station gift card.

Husband:  “Here you go, honey.  Open yours first.”

Wife:  “A gift card to a gas station?  So, basically you care enough about me to know that my vehicle has an internal combustion engine.”

Husband:  “To tell you the truth, I wasn’t entirely certain of that.  But, I figured that everyone likes beef jerky and candy bars so… you know… Merry Christmas.”

Wife:  “I wonder if they have gift cards for divorce attorneys.”

You’d be better off just giving a wad of cash at that point.
