I recently asked a family member what they wanted for their birthday, and the answer was “cash, and B&N gift card”. To answer the question of “why not just cash”: “if it’s a gift card, I won’t feel guilty about spending it at B&N”. Depending on the answers here, I’m probably going to give them a combination.

I don’t go to bookstores much myself these days, so I don’t know what the price of books has done in recent years, and how much is a usable amount. If I had to pick one genre they’d be shopping for, it’s probably YA Fiction, with Fantasy being a close second.

    Any amount is fine. :) $5, $20, $100… I recently received a gift card for Ebay for $25 and happily spent in on buying $80 headphones that I wouldn’t have normally got.
