five rules when buying a gift card

Im sure everyone has gotten a gift card in their life, a birthday or Christmas, its usually a good idea, but there are some rules that should be followed when getting a gift card.
1. Age appropriate, highschoolers do not want some spongebob gift card, its just lame
2. put the amount on the card, no one wants to call in and ask how much is on it
3. at least think about a store, dont just get the closest card, put at least a little effort in it. If you really don't want to get a mall one, something broad, or better yet, cash.
4. Don't say to "don't spend it all in one place," its a gift card... to one store
5. and last, but the most important, dont put just five dollars on it, get a price that goes with the store. Walmart, ten bucks all fine and dandy, but american eagle, hollister, anything costly, at least enough for a shirt, fifteen perfer twenty. If you dont wanna spend that much, go cash, at least they can choose how to spend it.

So if you ever buy me a gift, follow these, please.

I like "Don't spend it all in one place."
That's so true, and I never even noticed it.
