Teacher's Gift Cash vs Gift Cards

Is it wrong to give cash instead of gift cards? I have to buy 7 and I believe the fee is like $4 buck a piece. I could be wrong but I know there's a fee when you buy gift cards.

Re: Teacher's Gift Cash vs Gift Cards

Why not buy a specific store to avoid this?

I honestly don't like do this because I don't know where everyone shops. I'm more of a visa type, where you can buy anywhere and not be limited to. I give it too much thought, I think. I don't buy in target that much so I feel like there's others like me.

IMO you can't go wrong with Macys. Anyone can buy something at Macys.

I know you said you don't shop much in Target, but that is an option.

Also,

-Michaels (crafts/school supplies)
-Staples / Office Depot
-Wal Mart


Not sure if these are for teacher and assistants or specials.

I've thought about doing a Dicks/Modells/Sports Authority for the gym teacher.

Michaels/AC Moore/Joann Fabric for art teacher.

Good Luck!

I agree...I only give cash to the bus driver. Everyone else gets giftcards.
