When I’m feeling a little lazy, I make a lot of homemade, simple, healthy (as in, as non-processed as possible), and tasty things. I like to eat out a lot.

When I first signed up for a blog competition to win a $500 gift card to the nearest food store, the first thing my email inbox told me was…that I had won! My name was on the winner’s list but I hadn’t heard anything for a long time. I was so excited to get my gift card, but when I got it, I thought it was a joke.
A blog competition? You mean like the one where one blogger asks another blogger to rate them on a list of their favorite bloggers? That sounds like the sort of thing only rich people would do, and even though I usually don’t have any problem giving gifts to those who don’t know me, I kind of felt bad about this one. So I went and read through all the comments and saw that some people were quite upset with the award. I didn’t really blame them.
In the case of gift cards, the recipient is usually the person whose gift it is. This is a common practice, one that can be traced back to an early form of the lottery, where people would give gift cards to strangers who had won something. In a similar way, it’s possible that some people feel like they can’t be held responsible for the actions of others, that they are “just unlucky”.
A few people have pointed out that gifting is not the same as gift-giving. If you gift a gift card to someone you don’t know, you aren’t giving it to them. You are giving it to someone who could use it. In this case, the recipients is the person who was gifted the card.
In a similar way, gifting is not the same as gift-giving. If you gift a gift card to someone you dont know, you arent giving it to them. You are giving it to someone who could use it. In this case, the recipients is the person who was gifted the card.
But that’s all you have to do. Once your gift card is in the mail, you can send it to anyone you want. If people gift you gift cards, then they are giving them to you as a gift. But if you gift a gift card to someone you dont know, then you’re giving it to someone who could use it.
This is an important distinction. Gift cards are often given based on the recipient’s name or the name of the store. This is fine if you are friends with that person or if you have a special relationship with that person. But if you are giving a gift card to someone you dont know, you are giving it to someone who could use it.
Gift cards have a very bad rep because people often feel like they are taking advantage of your generosity. But in fact, gift cards are really very much like cash. The difference is that gift cards are not limited to one person, but can be given to anyone. In a way, gift cards are a way of giving money that isnt about you. They are also a way of giving money that you arent aware of.
