Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Gifts $30 and under

1. What an awesome gift guide! I got three great ideas from this. Thank you, TL!

2. People should give their Visa payment info to their friends and let them apply their give amount to the bill instead of a useless piece of junk they’ll stick into their next garage sale. Visa/Master Card should come out with a Gift payment Certificate so your gift really helps.

3. You don’t need to give your friends your visa info… you can buy them a pre-paid visa card with the amount of money you want…that’s easier ’cause they can spend it anywere at anytime…we bought those ones for our employees… worth it!

4. A pre-paid Visa or credit card is not that good as there is an activation fee that can take up at least 10-15% of the funds.
   Say you buy a $100 card-you pay an extra $5-10 fee on those.

   For something “useful” maybe get someone a gift card for Loblaws or another grocery store-those have no fees an we all need to eat.
   You can get cheap food there or expensive items.
   -and no fees for those cards either, and they work like a debit card.

   Drugstore gift cards can be useful too, like Shoppers Drugmart.
   -no fees on those either.

   or for the truly useful a HBC/Zellers gc, those can be used at The Bay or Zellers.
   The Zellers card, you can also use that at the pharmacy to pay for prescriptions if you need to.

   Or maybe you want to give someone a daily splurge- how bout a Second Cup or Starbucks card so they can treat themselves- no fees on those either.
