it depends on the person giving the card. if the person knew me well, i'd want a gift card from one of my favorite stores. if the person did not know me well, or if it was an older relative, amazon would be good (they have everything) or itunes would be ok.
if it was someone that was supposed to be a close friend, and i expected them to know me well, i'd be a little put off by a gift card that was not specific to my tastes (an amazon card would probably NOT be appropriate for a significant other or best friend unless the recipient does most of their shopping on amazon).
and gift cards CAN be quite a thoughtful gift... especially if it's to a specialty store or boutique that the person likes or would like.
Of the following gift cards, which would you prefer?
