2. Description of the Related Art
Gift cards are very popular, and are often among the most requested type of gift. Gift cards provide advantages for everyone involved in the gift-giving process. For example, the gift card giver does not have to spend time determining the gift that the gift receiver wants, needs, or has, but can instead give a gift card to one of the gift receiver's preferred merchants. The gift card receiver can select what he or she wants, and does not have to worry about returns or exchanges. The merchants often see an increase in sales, as the gift card receivers often spend more than the amount of the gift card.
