Some Candy? LOL


Coworker gave me that as a gift today and I was like what the hell is this? She would have done better giving me a Dunkin Donuts Card. When people go to walmart they are not going there to spend no $5.00 lol

So I guess the card will just sit in my wallet until I go out with my family to eat lol

You could always use it as a credit towards something greater than $5. So if your total is $7.89, then you just have to pay $2.89.

Me personally, I'd never give someone a gift card unless it was at least $15 or was a card to a coffee place like Dunkin Doughnuts-like you suggested.

$5 at Dunkin Donuts will get you...reaching in your pocket for more cash. But if someone gives you a 5 buck gift card, at least you know what they think of you.

Exactly. never in my life had someone give me a $5.00 gift card. What the f*ck am I in 4th grade?

That's true too, so DD would have to be atleast $10

And stupid LOL

When people tell me "It's the thought that counts..." I always say to that "Then 'think' about getting me a better gift."

LOL

Apply to something you want. No big deal. I would be happy getting it.

Not quite sure how you mean this. If you mean that the co-worker thinks little of the recipient, not sure that's always true; it depends.

* If the co-worker just can't afford to give more, then a nice gift bought at a great sale, or a really good find (NOT garish or tacky) at an Odd Lot or dollar store could work better. Me personally, when $ s tight, I scope out stores right after Xmas til like Jan 5, and sometimes you find something really nice sharply reduced 75-90%. I keep a special storage box and save the item for a future gift. The other way is to just write the person a heartfelt note on a very pretty card.

*Some places (like mine) have very strict gift giving policies. Bosses can only give underlings de minimus gifts (under $10) and employees can't give bosses anything at all- outside of maybe a holiday card. Colleagues can give each other gifts up to $20.

*If neither of the above THEN the person may just be plain cheap.

There could be other possibilities but these, I think, cover the major ones.

I can't apply it to anything right now because I live nowhere near a Walmart

But of course the person who gave me the gift card does. Lol

The thing that made it seem so strange (and cheap) was the gift card was for a department store! :confused: :lol: There isn't much you can get for5$ and under! If the coworker was really tight on cash, a gift card for Starbucks or Dollar tree for 5$ would make more sense! ;)


If I didn't have much money and I wanted to give a coworker a gift ,I'd just buy a box of inexpensive chocolates or a tin of cookies, that would be 5$ (or under) !;)

I like your approach better. Much better to give a simple but nice food gift OR $5 at the Dollar Store could get someone a few useful things. Or a REALLY NICE note if you're someone who writes well.

Yeah at Dollar tree you could get 5 items or 4 depending if they were taxed items! ;) Starbucks, 2 cups of coffee ,right? ;)

You're probably right. If someone gives you a gift, one should be thankful and appreciative, not run to an Internet message board and call them cheap and stupid. If everyone I knew gave me $5 I'd be doing pretty well.

WOW!! That is $5.00 more than I got :D

Is the co-worker the opposite sex?
If so, go out and buy a BIG Hersey's KISS--then wrap it up and give it to them . :lol: :wave:
Then, if they tell you "thank you," say all NO--THANK YOU with a smile on your face!

I just put your 4$ gift card for Target in the mail! Be sure to look out for it!!!;) :lol: :D

Maybe they regifted it.

But yes, anything you have to add money to, to redeem, isn't really a gift.

Having said that, I think I could find oodles of things to spend $5 on ! Batteries, nail polish ..... toiletries ....

it's not a very glamorous gift though.

$5 is better, but I can make $4 work.

If so

Perfect. Say "Awesome. I don't know what to get. Come help me spend it"

now today I get a gift card for $25 in the Pollyanna at the job and it was no money on the card when I called to check the balance. So the lady has to go back to the store and try to see what is going on because they took the money out of her account


Only me


I had planned on using the card to get me a foot massager tonight

LMAO - very cute.

could you buy a $4 gift card with it to give to your co-worker?

That would be funny!:lol:

Considering the fact that a lot of Christmas parties are happening before Christmas(Christmas is on payday Friday) a lot of people just don't have a lot of money now. That being said, you can buy 16 boxes of cup O Noodles at Walmart! Each one is roughly 30 cents! That will give you breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 5 days!:happyface
