So Special

My husband and I bought his secretary a gift card to an upscale department store and laughed at it's oxymoronic tone:

_________ deserves this special gift.
chosen just for you by ___________

Yes, nothing says,
"I was thinking specifically of you when I bought this," like a gift card. I love receiving them anyway. Merry Christmas! Nikki

That gave me a laugh. Oh, the irony. I think a gift card is a nice gift, but the fill-in-the-blanks contrast so sharply with the descriptors. As a former English teacher, I love stuff like that.

Nikki and Jeannine, I enjoy receiving gift cards too - in many ways they're ideal. This one was just too funny! Merry Christmas, girls!
