When I mail gift cards, I go the extra mile and send them priority or express. I load the envelope with stiff paper so it can’t be felt through the envelope. I make it appear as though it is a set of documents, not a gift card.

P.S. The USPS won’t refund the gift card if it’s lost or stolen. Just the price to send it.

Good idea. It’s a shame we have to go through so much fol-de-rol to avoid the bad acts of horrible people.

Maybe digital gift “cards” are the way to go.

Quality consumer reporter / advocate Clark Howard has advised against giving gift cards for many, many years. He makes great points.

Tons of items on the subject at his site.
