Tech Tuesday: Crazy gift cards

Those of you out there who like to buy gift cards as holiday gifts to either A) take the safe route or B) are too lazy to decide, are in luck this year. Now your gift card can not only give your loved one some extra cash to spend as they please, but can also double as a gift itself. So far two of the big box stores have decided to reward their gift-card-giving-patrons by adding some cool little gadgets to them. Best Buy will be offering gift cards that double as a mini speaker (comes included with a 3.5 mm [regular headphone] jack). But Target tops that. They will be offering gift cards that have an included 1.2 MP camera (comes with a USB cord, and a certificate for 40 free prints) at no additional charge. The only catch is you have to buy the two AAA batteries and the minimum denomination for the camera card is $50. Still if you were going to give a $50 card anyway, not bad at all. Well played... well played.
