Buy presents with gift cards.
If you’re unable to find something for yourself with the gift cards, how about you buy a present for someone else? With birthdays and other celebrations occurring year-round, it’s fun and easy to find gifts other people will enjoy. You can use gift cards to create a stash of gifts such as toys, scarves, and candles. Buying gifts using gift cards, especially during sales, can save you a great deal of money.
Buy things to sell with gift cards.
If the gift card you receive does not have merchandise that you enjoy, you can buy the items and sell them online. For example, if you have a gaming store gift card, buy the latest video game, and sell or auction it online or on social media. If you know your friend is looking for a specific product and you have a gift card for the same, buy the product and let them pay you in cash. This way you can liquidate your gift card and earn little money.
Buy things to donate with gift cards.
Instead of donating the gift card, see if you can buy things that you can donate. For example, if you have a clothing store gift card, you can buy new clothes to donate to a women’s shelter. If you have a grocery store gift card, you can buy hand sanitizers for teachers and some school supplies to donate to foster care.
Make gift card baskets.
If you receive a gift card you don’t want or can’t use, consider regifting. Gifting your gift card to others needn’t be a boring transaction. You can package it up along with other inexpensive items to make it look more eye-catching. Think of a theme gift card basket to surprise the receiver.
