When you do your holiday shopping this year, chances are, a gift card will be one of the presents. While some consider them taking the easy way out, gift cards are the most popular type of present for the 17th year in a row, so most people are happy to unwrap one. But not all gift cards are created equal, which is why billions of dollars worth of them go unused.
Want to make sure the gift cards you give will be appreciated and used by the recipient? A new report from WalletHub can help.

Scott's Thoughts:
- But what if someone doesn’t like coffee? Would they still want a Starbucks gift card? Probably because they have good treats too!
- I don't like doing gift cards. I prefer to get something personal. But some people have everything.
- I would like a gift card to Academy Sports and Outdoors please. :)
