That "No Material Gifts" Thing...


So.....


If a certain blogger, who took on a challenge to not buy anything new in 2010, or not give material gifts, decided to use a gift card, to buy a certain book, for a certain baby, for a certain baby shower, is that allowed? Or did they just break their own rules?


Of course, I'm asking for a friend.

Hey, its not YOUR money you spent... gift cards are different - its not cash coming out of your account - so its ALL good... you didnt break any rules!

And this had to be in your list for exceptions... I mean, when an event like this happens, a little bend can happen - right?

If they had said gift card in their possession technically they did not purchase anything since they had the gift card and just exchanged it for a certain gift for a certain baby for a certain baby shower. So said blogger that is your "friend" did not break the rules. And most people think they need a lawyer to find the loopholes, just ask a mom!!!

Tell your 'friend' that this is within the rules. Gift cards are money already spent. The rules are only for you not to spend any money on material things... I mean your friend. =)

I agree with the others...it is an exchange not a purchase.

I'm on board with the others. It's someone else's money that has already been spent. Plus, it's really a GIFT, so you have to use it! Go for it!
