The only exception I can think of would be giving an Uber (or similar service) gift card to e.g. a student relative. I know you are going to go out partying and here is $100 you can not use for anything except getting home safely.

Yes, yes, I know they could sell it for cash if they really wanted to, but the point here would be to force encourage them to spend the money the way I, in my infinite wisdom, have decided is best for them.
