Gift cards sometimes get a bad rap. Some call them impersonal and lazy. I call them awesome. Whenever I get a gift card, especially when it is to a store I love, I jump for joy. Gift cards are perfect for those people that have everything. Get them one to a new or favorite restaurant in town or a movie theater. Do they like music or reading? Try iTunes or Barnes & Noble. Isn't it better to give a gift card that you know will be used than some trinket that will be tossed under the bed right away? Here are a few deals that I have found so far and I'm sure there will be more.

• iTunes: You know those impossible people that you have on your list? Get 'em an iTunes gift card. Best Buy has them at buy one, get one 40% off. Target will also have them buy one get one 30% off.
• GiGi New York: This is a perfect gift for the bag lady in your life. GiGi New York offers discounted gift cards (ex: a $150 card for $135). Plus you get a personalized leather card holder. Another option? Buy the card for yourself and then hold onto it until their summer sale to get a bag at an even better price.
• ebay: You might think of ebay as a great place to find that designer price at a steal. But they also have gift cards available. I've seen previews for Sephora, Sports Authority, and Lowes. I'm sure there will be more too!
• Barnes & Noble: For every $75 in gift cards that you buy, you get a free $10 e-gift card. I honestly think Barnes & Noble gift cards are perfect for practically everyone. Between books, magazines, toys, DVDs, and music, a person can find something they like there.
• DSW: For every $50 in gift cards, you get $5 bonus card. And shoes, need I say more? This is a great one to buy yourself too if you are so inclined :)

One last tip- if you are doing any online shopping, be sure to use Ebates. You get a percentage back at practically any online retailer you can think of. While percentages are usually around 3%, there are often promos where you can get anywhere between 6 and 12%. It makes it totally worth it! You get your money back each quarter, or you can even donate directly to a charity.
