"There&amp;#39;s one thing I tell people *not *to buy me for the holidays, and it&amp;#39;s probably the one thing my loved ones automatically assume I want: clothes. (What can I say, ladies? I really am a STF, and everyone around me knows it). But I&amp;#39;m a little picky. And I exchange things, which is sometimes awkward, like Rachel in that episode of Friends. And even when I like the clothes people pick out, they don&amp;#39;t always fit. Enter gift cards&amp;#8212; the most amazing solution. If, like me, you&amp;#39;ve been lucky enough to score a few of gift cards hiding in seemingly slim holiday cards, here&amp;#39;s a few ideas of how to put them to use at 7 of the biggest sources for gift certificates...\nAs much as I love gift cards, it is a bit of a buzz kill to scour my favorite store and find myself so overwhelmed by the options that I come out empty-handed, so it&amp;#39;s definitely worthwhile to do some research before.\nAlso a buzz kill? Having to chip in your own money when using a gift card&amp;#8212; which is why all of the below items are under $100 (and most are under $50), so you&amp;#39;ll stay safely within your gift card budget. Of course, if your gift card is much more than that, you can always double up on the items...and introduce us to your friends!\nMacy&amp;#39;s:\nMore INC International Concepts...\nAnn Taylor:\nMore Ann Taylor...\nGap:\nMore Gap...\nBanana Republic:\nMore Banana Republic...\nVictoria&amp;#39;s Secret:\nMore Victoria&amp;#39;s Secret...\nJ.

Of of course, if you got a gift card for more than that, in which case, I want your friends!\nSo what do you think, ladies? Did you get any gift cards this season?
