15 Gift Cards That People in Boise Actually Want to Receive This Christmas

In 2019, Intuit's MintLife surveyed Americans to figure out exactly what people hope to receive for Christmas. The results were pretty interesting! 

According to Mint, 61% of Americans rather receive cash or a gift card than a traditional present during the holidays. Not many of those folks speak up and tell the people shopping for them that, because well...it sounds selfish, even though it's not.

Last year, we realized that our apartment had reached critical mass. There was no more room left for "stuff" so we politely requested some gift cards for Christmas because they wouldn't take up a lot of room and could be used for things we actually needed around the house.

Of course, this conversation was with our parents which made it a little awkward because it's super sweet that they still want to buy their adult kids gifts at Christmas when they don't need to. Luckily, it was well received. We ended up receiving a small purse that's the perfect size to take into concerts and sporting events, stuffed with gift cards.
