Gift cards have got to be the sweetest answer to holiday shopping questions the world over. And you have to know that it must have been a man that invented them. Oh yes, it will save them that dreaded night before Christmas shopping where they have to beat out all the other last minute male shoppers to that dreaded perfect gift. But gift cards have changed that somewhat as now these same men need only stand in line at the convenience store and swoop up an armful of their choice selection of gift cards, and tell everyone else that they finished their shopping in less than an hour.
Well, yes, gift cards do have their fine place in today’s gift giving, and with the economy the way it is, companies are having to get a little more creative with their gift card choices if they want to stand out amongst the sea of choices these last minute men shoppers. And Target is one of the first to jump on this bandwagon by turning their gift cards into a camera, so you give your giftee two gifts in one. Target dollars, and a new camera to boot. And yes, you can actually TAKE pictures with this gift card, as it comes with a 1.2 megapixel chip and 8 MB of memory.
This means you won’t be able to take more than about 50 pictures, but now you won’t have to fumble through the house looking for one on Christmas morning if you’ve been given this handy dandy gift. Your ‘gift card’ will also come with a USB cord, driver disk, and manual, as well as a voucher for 40 free prints from Target photo center. And so Target is definitely rising above with a gift that keeps on giving. Yep. Free prints, new camera, and a gift card that is reloadable and reusable, and thus, such is the camera.
