One of my good friends buys me a small gift card to a particular department store as a thank you or part of a bigger gift....and I NEVER shop at that store. While I appreciate the gesture, I have no idea how to tell her that I don't shop there!

So I accept the card with gratitude, and try to spend the card on a gift for someone else.

Is there anything at that store the person would particularly like? For example, don't give the potential recipient a gift card to Sephora if you know she prefers not to wear cosmetics.

Help a gift card giver, what should I consider when selecting a gift?
