Don’t Buy Gifts Cards …
Buy this instead: A DIY Gift Basket
Target and Walmart sell a wide variety of gift cards but usually at full face value. However, online sites like Raise and stores like Costco sell them under face value, said James of Rather-Be-Shopping.
Instead of buying an expensive gift card, make a DIY gift basket as a present, said Jon Lal, CEO of loyalty and coupon website BeFrugal. “By perusing the dollar sections and finding what’s on sale, put together a personalized gift basket for an inexpensive, yet thoughtful, gift idea,” he said.
