While some may think they're impersonal, gift cards are actually very practical gifts. They allow the recipient to pick the gift they want while removing the stress and anxiety of buying the wrong item. They can also be used year-round, usually with no expiration dates to worry about.
Gift cards also make for great last-minute gifts because unlike traditional gifts, online gift cards are not subject to shipping delays or stock shortages. In fact, most gift cards can be sent within minutes of purchase. We're rounding up the best online gift card deals you can send in time for the holidays.
