Gift cards are increasingly becoming a popular gift. They no longer carry the stigma of "oh, you couldn't take the time to buy me a gift?" that they used to have :) A research organization ( has been polling shoppers (20,000 of them!) over a 5 year period, and they found the top 20 cards that are well received. Some of the top 10 will surprise you, as they did me. Especially #3, which oddly has been rising in popularity every year. Who knew!?

And even though it is late in the shopping calendar, I am sure that many of you are still trying to buy gifts and would appreciate some last minute ideas that are usually a success. Perhaps you can give one of these top 20 gift cards and it will be well appreciated.

listed in order of popularity:
  1. Wal-Mart
  2. Target
  3. McDonald’s
  5. Home Depot
  6. Lowe’s
  7. Costco
  8. Subway
  9. Visa

Happy Shopping, and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

Gift cards make for practical presents because the recipients can select from a range of choices.
