Only as a very last resort and you can't come up with something better. Too many want to just go straight for the gift card route. Someone said in a question I asked it was arrogance to pick out a gift for a person but not so to give them a gift card. I say it's more arrogant to go straight for the gift card as you are first saying your time is far to important to waste on them, then you're saying they have to shop where you want them to shop, and finally you're saying you don't wish to get to know them well enough or to even use a list or hints they may give of what they would like to get.
You don't have to spend terribly much on folks, the things you're thinking of for your female friends are just as nice for guys.

gift cards are a great idea. choose stores/restaurants that you know for sure won't be going out of business; such as Best Buys, Target, Starbucks, Apple Bees, Kohl's, a near buy mall, etc. I wouldn't choose Circuit City tho. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Its a good idea! Maybe get the gift card from a store you know they like, like a music one if they are into music. Its a good idea for the girls as well! Ahh picture frames, there is only so many a person needs, i had to throw a heap of mine out cause people kept getting them for me lol

i think it is a good idea most articles i read or from what i hear on the radio giftcards are tacky and not personal, but i disagree i love when i get giftcards so i can pick a gift i actually like and don't have to pretend to like

Gift cards are great. Gift cards from somewhere cool like Abercrombie, Gap and sports type stores are even cooler.

i thinks its a great idea even if you made a holder for them makes it seem like its more of a gift

Yeah, thats a pretty good idea. You could make it special by putting it in with some homemade cookies or goodies- guys love munchies!!

Gift cards to me kinda say, you didnt take the effort to buy something personal. I say no.

Sure. Why not? Maybe you could give them giftcards to their favorite stores, though?

of course!
gift cards give people the freedom to buy what they want, they're a great, easy gift.
