For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    I think I accidentally threw away a Starbucks gift card someone gave me, because I’ve been unable to locate it since Christmas :(

    EDIT: LMFAO the mods removed my reply to the Scrooge below me because I said “I hope you get coal next year” XD

      My partners job gave him a couple of the keg gift cards one year, it was over $100 value. We held on to them for a special occasion. We moved, it was my birthday, made plans with friends and excited to get steak paid for by his shitty employee.

      Those fucking gift cards have never shown up again. Just gone into the void.

          Even if you didn’t like their coffee, they sell like candy and sandwiches and mugs and stuff? That’s not a useless gift card and I’m sorry you lost it!

            Thanks. Honestly, I do like their coffee. I don’t really like them as a company, but I’m not going to turn up my nose at a gift. Maybe it will turn up!

          You sound like such a nice and level headed person who can take jest and jokes in stride. Off to a good well start of the year. Insulting people on the Internet over harmless comments about coffee, as god intended. No wonder you aunt gave you a giftcard instead of a real gift. You must be impossible to be nice to. And you lost it to boot, that shows how much you care about your aunt’s gift.
