Think about upcoming events in your schedule. Do you have any weddings or showers that may require a gift? Attending these functions can get pricey to begin with, especially when there is travel involved. Spending your gift card on a wedding gift may allow you extra money to spring for a luxury hotel rather than driving home late at night.
