I'm one of the few who thinks there's nothing wrong with giving a gift card (especially because I love to get gift cards). If you have some reservations about them being boring gifts, then you may reconsider — Target is introducing gift cards that double as mini digital cameras, while Best Buy will have gift cards that are also speakers!
With such fun stuff built into the gift cards, you may not want to redeem them. These could also cease to take the wind out of people's sales that were expecting more than just a gift card. What do you think of this idea?

meh, not a fan. if i wanted a camera or speakers, i'd expect to receive a camera or speakers...
1I like it in theory (gift card with a bonus) but in practice it doesn't seem all that practical. It's also a little too disposable for my tree-huger sensibilities.
2As long as you're not charge more for the gift card, I'm all for it.
3I think the Best Buy gift card is interesting, but the Target gift card just seems silly. I've seen samples of the pictures the camera takes, and the average camera phone can do better. These stores are trying to get consumers to spend more money on disposable and mediocre products, and that's just ridiculous.
4i like the speaker one, but i am a little reserved on getting the camera one because i doubt that they will take good pictures, but it is a cuuute idea.
5I think the camera gift card would be a better idea if it was just a gift card that had an image on it to make it look like a camera. ... Does that make sense? lol.
6That is such a crazy idea. Cool though- I'd try it!
7i agree with berry243. If it was some other 'bonus' feature, then I would agree. But it's a good concept nonetheless.
8I like the idea too but I'm not sure abput the whole speaker/camera thing, some oher bonus might be better like .... um I can't think of anything right now other than a pocket mirrow.
9cute. especially for kids
10It would be cute for kids, but I agree with previous posts. It's not especially practical, I'm sure it can't be high quality.
