The Land of the Free’s Holiday Poll

J.J. Jackson* | January 1, 2008

This year over at our sister site (the Land of the Free) we asked: What Do You Think About “Gift Cards” As Presents?

We wanted to do something a little less serious since everyone was so busy with Christmas (not “the Holidays”).

Basically the results were predictable. Only 14% of those that responded actually said they loved getting them. 34% said that gift cards were basically what you get people you know nothing about and 42% sighed and said they would rather get a gift card than some piece of junk they didn’t want but that people often feel compelled to buy for some strange reason.

Results:

* Better a gift card than something I don’t want. (42%)
* Nothing says “I know nothing about you” like a gift card! (34%)
* I love getting them! (14%)
* Only as a last resort if I still haven’t found something for someone. (9%)
* As long as they aren’t for someplace I never shop. (1%)
* Fine to get and give, but SOME are rediculous! (1%)
