When it comes to gift giving I really like the idea of giving an "activity" or vacation or something. (Blanking on how else to describe it! LOL) For instance, for my son I prefer gifts like a trip to the amusement park, a season pass to the zoo, a month of tae-kwan-do lessons, etc. For my husband I have done things like a gift certificate for sky-diving, a trip to Arkansas, a sunset boat cruise. Sure, gift cards are practical, but memories are much better! :)
