Gift cards
When you don’t know what gift to buy, go for gift cards. “Buying gift cards used may seem like an unusual idea, but it’s actually becoming more mainstream as a unique way to save money,” says Woroch. You have plenty of options to choose from not to mention you can exchange gift cards on specialized exchange and resale sites, like Raise, GiftCardGranny, and Giftcards.com. A resale site can help save 10 to 30 percent on store credit at your favorite stores, or gift cards to give as presents, Woroch says.
