Gift Card Christmas: Justified or Just Cheap?
Our young gift-giver used to love Christmas shopping for her big family, spending $50 to $100 on each person and taking weeks to choose the perfect gifts.

When her family confronted her about the change, she explained her reasoning, only to be met with anger and accusations of being cheap and selfish. The rest of Christmas was spent in an awkward silence. So, what does the internet think of this gift-giving conundrum? Let’s see what people have to say…
