Gift cards are probably the best kind of gift you can get. You can pick whatever you want and don't have to deal with the hassle of returning that ugly sweater your weird aunt from Florida got you.

So trade in that shiny plastic for something like a drone, great headphones, or classic sunglasses.

Happy holidays.
