    Less wastes, same cost. Or, just make some food and skip the gift part for most people, and give cash to those who deserves/needs it. There’s no point in swapping gift card of roughly similar values except making more waste and forcing buying stuff at specific places.

      And not to mention:

      • Plastic waste
      • That stupid glue/adhesive that may/may not come off the card easily
      • Remembering to bring it to the shop of the off chance you may go to that store
      • Remembering to use them before they expire
      • Using the whole amount without overspending to cover the difference
        (Even people leaving behind a couple dollars or cents on a gift card is just straight up profit for a company)
