You should buy gift cards if you know they like a certain kind of thing. Like a gift card for a weekend away somewhere, or a gift card to spend in a music shop. That way it's way more personal than just money and you will be sure that they will spend it on something they will really enjoy.

Never buy gift cards, they’re a scam. Write a personal note saying “I know you like (store), so you can use this to buy yourself something there.” Gift cards are idiotic scams.

Exactly. It is so much easier to buy my nephew a Roblox gift card or an *insert console system* gift card. Depending on where you live, it can also be illegal for these gift cards to lose their money (California is an example). If the person you replied to is unable to use all of the gift cards they acquire, that sounds like a personal issue.
