Do you ever

have giftcards to certain stores that you usually love....but when you go to buy something, you can't find ANYTHING in the store to spend money on?!?

I have an unused $50 gc for NY&Co, and $100 for Love my Shoes....and I can't find a damn thing!!!!!

Chat Icon I hate that!

Oh yeah, there are times that I get them to NY&CO. and when I go I feel like I already have everything in there. Just wait a few weeks when the summer line comes in.

Re: Do you ever

ALWAYS!!!

You know what's worse? Getting a GC to a store you don't shop in!

When I was a young teenager like 14-16, I loved dELiA's, but my sister's MIL got me a GC there when I was like, 19. I'm way too old for the clothes there, and a lot of it is cheap quality and blah blah. I used it like 2 years later on a notebook, a keychain and lip balm..lol I hate when you just have to buy stuff for the sake of buying it.

How's the Gap lately? I used to shop there religiously, like in HS, but now I don't shop there at all, so of course I got a GC there for my birthday from my sister. I have no idea what to buy there.

my sister works there....I'm not crazy about their stuff other than the basics, like jeans and layering tees. Good men's clothes though.

Re: Do you ever

Are they interchangeable (like a Simons gift card or something) where you can bring them back to the mall and maybe exchange them for something else? Or maybe regift them?

Re: Do you ever

I wanted to mention Shorty.....

once I was in Sephora and this lady came up to me when I was in line and asked if she could pay for my stuff with her GC and I would give her the cash. She freaked me out a bit at first but she stuck around for the whole transaction at the counter, she only had an $11 credit so it was okay with me. So you can approach someone at the store if you really really really cant get rid of the GC for a long time without looking like a freak! Or you can maybe sell it to a friend who is going to spend money at the certain store anyway.

Re: Do you ever

Just make sure they don't charge you for having the card for too long. Other than that, wait for new stuff. You will spend it somehow!
