Gift Cards
We love them. We hate them. Well, we hate them when they are to stores that we either never frequent or that we do not have access to. I have received two gift cards that fall into that later category. One to Hastings and one to this store called Baskin's. They sell western wear. Yeah. Fantastic. Exactly what I need. Seriously. Why buy me a gift card to THAT store? It was out of my aunt's way. Why not buy me a Wal-Mart gift card. At least I could use that for buying a new card for my camera or a new DVD player. And Hastings? While I do love some movies, books and music, there are two problems with Hastings: there are none that I know of in Dallas and they are horrifically overpriced.
But all is not lost. I found a fabulous website called CardAvenue. You can list unwanted gift cards on the site and trade them for something more fitting. I am hoping I can score something to Best Buy, Fry's, Target or Wal-Mart. I will settle for a Borders card though.
Anyway, just thought I would share the word.

you can also sell them on ebay (for cash - good at all stores). sometimes, you can actually score slightly more than the card is worth. a weird ebay phenomenon.
Baskin's? Seriously? Has that person MET YOU? Wow. Impressive.
I saw YayCoffee's Hello icon and now I feel left out and must have one. MUST!
Happy Christmas - see you on the 31st!!!
Yeah, that was kind of my reaction. I don't know why in the world they thought I would find ANYTHING I wanted there.
Oh, and your icon is already in development. I am doing a large post of them later today.
Man...I wish they had something like that for angel sweaters and scotty dog robes!
Oh man. Have they met you?
There is a Hastings just up 75 in McKinney... might make a fun Saturday trip, if your already in Allen to do the outlet mall or whatever. *idea*
