One of the best gifts to give someone for the holidays is a gift card. That's because it's what most people want, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation. But how do you pick the right card?
"The best gift card to give is the one the recipient wants," said Shelley Hunter, who is known as the Gift Card Girlfriend at GiftCards.com. In other words, it's a card that allows recipients to shop at their favorite retailers, at retailers with a variety of products, or even at multiple retailers, and it's easy to give and use.
So if you plan to buy gift cards this holiday season, avoid the worst gift cards and consider these picks instead.
