I get a lot of gift cards over the course of a school year and I tend to hoard them. My best friend and I started to pool our gift cards and use them to kick up our girls’ weekends up a notch; in fact sometimes gift cards alone fund our entire weekends.
On one of our weekends, we were able to pick up gin and Prosecco from Liquor Depot to make fancy drinks which we drank along side delicious pizza from Boston Pizza. Then, on the next day we were able to grab coffees from Tim Horton’s and then do a little shopping at Chapters and have lunch at Earl’s.
On another weekend we were able to treat ourselves to a deluxe movie experience at Cineplex VIP; we ordered Caesars, deep fried pickles, truffle fries and mini donuts. We finished the weekend with a trip to Cabela’s for me to get new hiking boots.
For our 15th friendaversary we had our make-up done at Sephora.
Gift cards are fantastic! I know some people think they are tacky but they allow people to get exactly what they want and share good times with great friends. So the next time you are doubting whether or not you should give someone a gift card… just do it!!
