Even giant e-retailers Amazon and Walmart who carry a wide selection of clothing, toys and electronics aren’t miracle workers--though they promise to ship and deliver gift purchases up to Christmas Day. While it’s the thought that counts, Holmes says that consumers report more powerful feelings when a gift is an activity or an experience rather than a store-bought item. “And that sort of intensity of emotion translates into feeling more connected and a stronger relationship,” she said, after observing similar results within families and between friends. To study the effectiveness of gifts, Holmes “There’s no reason to feel embarrassed about grabbing a handful of gift cards off the cash register rack because you’re short on time, according to Professor Cassie Mogilner Holmes.” and her team measured how closely a group of dads felt to their children before and after Father’s Day. The researchers looked at what gifts the children gave, and concluded that fathers who received “experiential” gifts also enjoyed a boost in their relationship with their kids. Parents and grandparents can do better knowing that gift cards are what pre-teens, teens and young adults say they want the most nowadays. Cards generally come in $10, $25, $50 and $100 values, but most cards are loaded with between $20 and $50, according to the people at giftcardgranny.com. The number one reason people give gift cards is because those allow their loved ones, friends, co-workers and even the newspaper delivery guy freedom to choose what they want. More than 90 percent of Americans say they’ve given a gift card, and last Christmas season the average number given was two cards. Retail stores and restaurants top the list of most popular gift cards, followed by coffeehouses and the movies, according to giftcardgranny.com. Prepaid cards that bear the Visa, MasterCard and American Express logos make the top five, shows research done by the online reseller of gift cards. My own circle of friends confirmed what the UCLA professor and a gift-reseller website are saying about this gift-giving shift. Annual sales of gift cards will reach $1.6 billion sometime next year, according to giftcardgranny.com. I asked my Facebook friends--all with South Bay connections--how they feel about gift cards and who gets one versus a present to go under the tree. Cindy Ceravalo Stevens admits to feeling like she’s “phoning it in” when she gives gift cards instead of a fancily-wrapped present. They might not see it that way since she’s sending them to the spa, Starbucks or their favorite dining spot. Though she does add, “I do appreciate receiving a gift card.” To entice shoppers this holiday season, businesses are offering a small gift of $10 to anyone who spends $50 on a gift card. “They’re always fun,” writes Paula Lake Purser. After-Christmas sales are a reason why my friend Sue Kemp Schultz says she gives them. She adds, “I really prefer gift cards, because they are easier and cheaper to mail. There are way less returns too. Plus, if given Visit us online: www.heraldpublications.com See Gift Cards, page 14 7.0 in. 7.0 in. be a dad today.
