topic Why do people give gift cards instead of just giving money? in Community Chat https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Why-do-people-give-gift-cards-instead-of-just-giving-money/m-p/394285#M169930 <P>I think people who you don't know well but want to gift for the holidays like the hairdresser or the housekeeper or teacher - I would just give them the cash - a gift card limits them to what they can buy with it - cash can be used to pay a bill they may need to pay, or whatever they want. My housekeeper told me she needs to buy 4 tires for her car and expects to get enough from her Christmas gifts to pay for them. I was glad I gave her cash.</P> Wed, 18 Dec 2013 15:22:42 GMT 151949 2013-12-18T15:22:42Z Why do people give gift cards instead of just giving money? https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Why-do-people-give-gift-cards-instead-of-just-giving-money/m-p/394285#M169930 <P>I think people who you don't know well but want to gift for the holidays like the hairdresser or the housekeeper or teacher - I would just give them the cash - a gift card limits them to what they can buy with it - cash can be used to pay a bill they may need to pay, or whatever they want.
