I have teen DDs (13 and 14). DD1 in particular is quite hard to buy for so my mum originally said she was going to give them cash this year, which they will be really pleased with (they have enough other presents to open and like shopping and choosing stuff for themselves).
She has now decided that she is going to give them vouchers rather than cash. Which is of course absolutely up to her but she has asked what type of vouchers to get them. I have various suggestions for DD2 but stuggling for DD1 (e..g her clothes tend to come from vintage shops and she still has unused amazon vouchers from her birthday).
So I was just curious to know why people prefer to give vouchers rather than cash. I can see why people sometimes prefer to give actual gifts (fun to open, less obvous how much has been spent etc). But Im struggling with why vouchers are seen as better than cash.
It is not at all a big deal. I will suggest Boots i think, but I was a bit curious and a couple of my DNs are the age where I am planning money for the first time but was proposing just to put some cash in an envelope and my mum got me wondering if this somehow looks less thoughtful or something.
