The grocery store we shop at sells probably a hundred different gift cards to retailers (like home depot and jcp for example) and give you a discount on gas when you buy the cards through the grocery store with your rewards card. So the giver and the receiver make out! Great advice.

First off, over the last 8 months or so, I've been able to save about $700 just by switching to a super low cost plan with Tracfone ($10!) and my phone was a one time $15 fee are there are no other fees so the bills are steady and dependable like the service. If you've ever spent over $100 with a contract carrier for subpar service or too much on fees, prepaid has the better options and the big money savings.

Your friend will be so happy, I'm sure. That instant smile of appreciation and pure joy can never be fully achieved by buying a bunch of small gifts in an attempt to choose quantity over quality. @Mrs. Micah,

It's hard cherry, glass doors, and just perfect and since she's a bibliophile, we wanted to give it. 5 friends chipping in makes it totally affordable! @Aya,

I once got a DVD player from my friends, granted they split the $130 between 10 people. It doesn't matter to me that each person only $13 because a DVD player is a DVD player.
