I'm also a big fan of gift cards. It's easy, relatively painless on the wallet, and gives the giftee the ability to pick what they get. Wins all around. I did mostly gift cards last year though so I'm doing actual gifts this year. I don't like giving the same thing multiple times in a row, even if it is something as versatile as the gift card.

I think I'm going to hold off on the shopping today though, as the weather is bad. Pouring rain and most stores are still packed. At least the ones I saw on the way to the grocery store were. I hate crowds so I'd rather not make myself put up with that if I don't have to. Besides, despite all the ads to the contrary, holiday shopping is anything but happy around here. Evidently holiday cheer is reserved for the parties after several alcoholic beverages. All I've been seeing lately are scowls n' growls.
