As much as I love finding the right gift at the right time for people on my list, sometimes a gift card is just that. For Christmas, gift cards are great if you need to send some last-minute gifts, but they’re also good for Hanukkah, where giving money is tradition. Gift cards can even be passed on to honor the Hanukkah tradition of passing on the money you’ve received to others as charity.
You can buy gift cards with broad purchasing options or get one that’s closer to the giftee’s interests. We’ve even got some great ways to save you money.
GIFT CARD SPREAD
Gift Card Spread offers cards at a discount. You can get electronic and physical gift cards for everything from clothing stores like Abercrombie & Fitch, beauty like Sephora, restaurants and hotels like Hyatt, and much more. If you buy a card that you end up not giving, you can also sell Gift Card Spread your unused cards. Win win.
EJ GIFT CARDS
You can also save money for gift cards with EJ Gift Cards, and according to them, they have the biggest discounts. You can be the judge.

EBAY
If you want to give your loved one the option to buy just about anything on Earth, from clothing to furniture to cars, give them an eBay gift card. You can give your loved one from $5 to $200 to spend. And while eBay has some wonderfully fun cards that can be mailed to your giftee, eBay has an digital option for speedy delivery. Gift cards can be used to buy anything on the site, as long as you’re paying through Paypal, so your giftee will need a free eBay account and free Paypal account to use the card. If your giftee likes nostalgic gifts, like vintage clothes and toys, this is a great gift option.
