I just bought my twenty-something niece a present, but made sure I included the gift slip "just in case". It turned out that when she tried to return it, it was still a hassle. Next time, I'll skip the middle step and just send a gift card, or good ole fashioned cash. That works too. But I can't help thinking that we are missing the point of gift giving altogether.

My kids are past this stage and electronic gifts and money are the usual fare. But I remember all the toys we had to find room for, at least until mid-January when they tired of them. Gift cards are a great gift and can be used throughout the year, for a Christmas gift that keep on giving. Joyce,
