Gift Grrrrrr...
I was thinking about this over the weekend and wondered if anyone else had experienced this:
Last year, we gave two significant gift certificates to our parents (one for a B&B and one for an offshore fishing trip) as gifts. Neither one has been used. It's possible the fishing trip has/had an expiration date.
I'm just a little frustrated that these may go to waste/have not been used. I know I shouldn't care, because it was a gift and the recipient can do/not do whatever they want with it. Ultimately, I'm just curious if anyone else experiences this and if maybe it's just a bad gift idea. FWIW, they seemed excited at the time of receipt, it's not like we gave a fishing trip to someone who hated fishing...

Re: Gift Grrrrrr...
I know my parents won't use gift cards, even if it were to something they like. So I know for them it is a bad gift idea because IMO it's a waste of money.
Most other people I give gift cards to, I'm pretty sure they use them.
I think it's interesting that the gc's weren't used. I would love to get a cool gift like that.
Is it possible that they wanted to use the gifts when it was warmer outside and then forgot about them?
I am bad about using GCs, especially if it's for services. It always seems like an awesome gift when I get it, but I never get around to scheduling it. I finally told DH to never get me a massge GC again, but instead to give me a "day" planned. I would rather him say "On XYZ Saturday, I have arranged babysitting and you/we have an appointment for:____, so plan your day accordingly."
I would be annoyed if I knew someone didn't use my gift, as well - especially b/c that sounds like something that was probably a nice chunk of change. But on the other hand, I see how it could end up going unused. (this is someone who used a massage GC on the last day of the year expiration b/c I never got around to scheduling it)
when my dad died and we went through his stuff, i found several hundred dollars worth of ruth's chris GC's. one of them was 9 years old...lol.
unless it's something this person has specifically asked for, i think you just have to be happy that you tried.
