  Isn't it super likely the gift buyer will realize what's up when making the purchase? There would have to be two websites or something.

    > There would have to be two websites Yes. That... doesn't sound like a very hard technical challenge?

      It sounds like a very difficult social challenge though.

          Plausible deniability can often short-circuit bullshit rituals. White lies are social lubricant. Come on, this isn't very advanced grass-touching here. I don't know if it will work, but I like the idea and admire the attempt.

  Is it? It just seems wasteful and unnecessery. Even gifts cards are pretty stupid for anyone that has access to a credit card. It’s strictly worse than having the actual cash for all but the unbanked (including kids).

    Agreed... my first thought was "wow, this would create a lot of unnecessary waste going into a landfill."
