Charity Gift Cards: Smart or Wasteful?

Charity gift cards: Donation in someone's name. Pros: Introduces giving, zero waste, tax deductible (giver), meaningful alternative. Cons: Recipient doesn't choose charity, may not value, seems impersonal. Best practices: Match charity to recipient values, include personal note, combine donation + small token.
