    Y’all gift wrong.

    Please don’t ever spend more than $50 on me unless it’s an experience-gift that we can share (myself and giver), like concert/theater tickets or admission to some event.

    Same is true for my kids. They have tons of toys and we hate your taste in clothes. So we ask for experiences. We’ve got tickets and giftcards for so many local family attractions. They also all have a little collection going of classic literature with gilded pages…stuff like Jules Verne or Treasure Island. So even if they don’t like to read, at least the look nice.

    IDK where you are but gift cards have no fees in the US, except for reloadable prepaid credit cards. And a lot of attractions have timed-entry so you can’t really gift a ticket, since you don’t know when they can go.
