If my wife asks for a specific birthday present that costs thousands of dollars, it has a high monetary value, its probably useful, there has been zero thought put into by myself and its all rather emotionally detached. Conversely if my young daughter spends all her money on a cheap screwdriver set that will last a month after Fathers Day, it has low monetary value, its pretty useless but the fact she really thought about it means it has a very high emotional value to me; and Id probably cherish it for years (but never use it). Usefulness isnt just about practical things like tools, car accessories etc.. Ugly jewelry isnt very useful, but a beautiful necklace is. Gift cards are the most useful but are viewed by the majority as being a 'cop out'. A good idea when giving a gift card is to suggest something to buy with it. Perhaps something you like at that store or something youd like to try. The recipient can take that into account and (probably) buy what they want, but at least you have demonstrated that you have put some thought into it.
