I feel if I can go, buy a gift, take it home, wrap it and ship it or present it, or do something special, that least that is warranted is a thank you note. don't save your paper and 55 cents! How cheap!"

If it is someone you just want to give a token gift to, or they want something bigger and this can go toward it great- but if it is done out of laziness or not caring, then it is indeed in poor taste- as in a husband who gives his wife a gift card for every event. man up!"
