Last Minute Shopping Idea

Today is the day for last minute shopping, be it on-line or going out to fight individuals at the mall for the perfect gift.  If on-line shopping today, use on-line gift cards.

I did for the first time this year.  To make a long story short, I do not have my sister's new address.  I have given presents to my sister and her daughter every year that I can, because it's a nice thing to do.  This presented a problem.

In the past, when I have been late giving gifts, I have fallen back on Fandango, and using Fandango Bucks.  This is a nice gift for movie lovers; it give an experience instead of stuff.

But I did not want to do that this year.  It's so predictable for me to give Fandango Bucks, so I went to walmart.com looking for a solution to my gift giving problem.  The solution presented itself simply with the solution of an on-line gift card.  Since I did have my sister's e-mail address, I purchased the card for a small amount of money, and sent the gift that day.

I feel on-line gift cards are safer than sending card through the mail because the chance of theft or loss is minimal.  Plus, someone cannot steal the number from the back of the on-line card.

If you are looking to save time and be able to send a gift today, long distance, look into on-line gift cards.  I did and I liked it!
