Yes I know I have been MIA for a little while, but I didn't go far - but I'm back now to do my duty which is save our hard-earned money from going down the drain.
A little FYI, courtesy of one of my fave bloggers Norman who has informed her many readers that there is some thievery going on in the gift cards department.
Maybe it's because of lack of creativity, too much laziness or just plain procrastinay-tioon-eh but almost all of us resort to buying one of our loved ones a gift card every Christmas season.
You see them on the racks all pretty, colourful and convenient at stores like Old Navy, Chapters and Future Shop but now this is not a good thing. If you must buy a gift card, go directly to a cashier and ask specifically for a card that has been out of the public's reach (preferably stored away nicely in their cash tills or drawers, or better yet their vault!
Snopes has it explained here and it's been classified as truth so protect your pocketbooks and spare the tears of the little ones by reading up on why. And have yourself a Merry Frickin' Christmas you Grinch punks who do this to decent hard-working folk; may your shriveled hearts be served to you on a silver platter this holiday.

it's about time lady! I was getting worried! Shame on the grinches!
Yay, you're back!
I usually try to make all my Christmas gifts, but sometimes end up buying a gift card. I find people generally like homemade jam or cookies better than some crap to take up more space. Then again, that may just be me :P
I guess another way to combat this would be to tell the people you give the card to that they should use the entire balance at once. But, I can see how that would be a pain, and doesn't make it OK for people to steal, or make it OK for the person to whom you gave the card to be ripped off.

Oops, that got kinda f'd up.
First one was from my boyfriend's account, he has autologin and I didn't notice.
I WAS NEVER HERE! YOU NEVER SAW ANYTHING! YOU KNOW NOTHING!
