Looking for a gift card for Mom's caregiver, which one would be the best?

Moms not strong enough to go to the store yet. can you help?

VISA gift card can be used almost anywhere the caregiver would want.

WalMart would work.

Find out where the caregiver likes to shop, and get one for their favorite store, even if it is just a grocery place.

CWillie, I know that some folk prefer cash, but the giver sees that as uncomfortable. The gift card makes us feel more comfortable some how. I would caution to give a gift card that can be used on daily things: gas, food, etc. working class folk do not appreciate a gift card to a book store or restaurant. We want useful cards to help us with our day to day. I am speaking from both sides of the equation as I have been a helper and I have been the person extending the gift card.

I cleaned houses for a lot of years and I got some pretty strange gifts during the holidays. I know that it seems more impersonal, but I can tell you that most of us would rather have cash.

It depends on what stores are available in the immediate area of where your Mom's caregiver lives... Target or Walmart are good choices, if they are close by. Make it a store that has a lot of variety instead of a specialty store.
