Do You Still Have Unused Gift Cards from Last Christmas?
I love gift cards. I love receiving them. My theory is that a gift card is always a welcomed gift. It’s much better than getting stuff that I don’t need or, to be honest, don’t really want. While that may sound somewhat cocky, it’s true. I don’t need another flannel shirt or a paperclip, coin, and ultimately dustbunny collecting item to put on my desk. So, I am an embracer (hey, I’m making up my own words now) of gift cards.
What is amazing about those silly little plastic things though is that, after a little time, you forget about them. Sure, you use the card shortly after receiving it to purchase something useful or indulgent. But then, you’ve got a card that only has some odd little amount left on it. I have one card that has $1.18 on it for Lowe’s. That won’t buy much. So, what happens to that card? It sits there.
It’s estimated that 10% of the $45 billion gift card industry goes unused each year. That’s $4.5 billion! Let me see here, wait a second…yep, that’s a tad bit more than my annual income, haha.
Well now there’s good news for all of those neglected, unused gift cards! GiftCardGiver.com is a team of people that exists to help you and thousands of other people gather millions of gift cards and give them to people that can truly benefit from them.
As described at www.giftcardgiver.com, “five bucks in a gift card will buy you a pair of socks…but 10 people giving 5 bucks will buy a kid a winter coat or 100 giving $5 from Home Depot will give that same kid a warm bedroom to sleep through the night.” The possibilities of how this can positively impact people’s lives seem to be endless here…
