I usually get gift cards for Walmart or Costco or even just some cash and I tell them right away that that money is going towards groceries and maybe a small highly sugary treat for my family lol

That's the thing, though. I often get gift cards to home depot or lowes, but then spend them on whatever crap, like pex to repair a broken pipe. People like hearing that it went toward "a splurg" that you normally wouldn't buy for yourself... like a "treat." So, I've bene trying to pick out a useful tool or something that I normally would have to try and justify, but now don't have to because of the gift card.
