[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you all care how was spent on the groupon? I buy all of my gifts on sale. What would be a bigger issue to me is whether or not the gift had anything to do with what they know about me.[/quote]

It's quite tacky to gift someone a Groupon as a "gift" because it states on the paper the price the person paid for it, plus all Groupons have expiration dates as restrictions so they are not true "gifts" such as gift certificates or gift cards.

Remember how people complained about expiration dates on gift cards thus gift cards now do not have them? Because when giving someone a true "gift," imposing a restriction takes the fun out of the "gift" part. In other words, the dynamic changes. It no longer feels like a gift any longer.

It is tough to explain.

Plus, a Groupon isn't meant to give as a gift, I would think it is meant to use by the person who uses it.

I wouldn't give someone a gift for a complimentary coffee that expired on a certain date that I received as a promotion in the mail. Sure, it would be a nice gesture that I thought of someone in particular, but to give it and categorize it as a [i]gift[/i] is just wrong wrong wrong.  :hunf: [/quote]
