As you get older, the question “what do you want for Christmas” or “what do you want for your birthday” gets more and more difficult to answer. 

Maybe that’s because you’re blessed enough to not really need anything. Or your home is filled with enough “stuff” that you don’t want anything else that’s going to add to the clutter. So, you say “I don’t know. A gift card is fine.”

If you’ve found yourself in this situation, here are a couple of options for cashing them in!
