If you’re still looking for a thrifty gift option, consider a Restaurant.com Gift Card Basket! Pick up a $25 Gift Card for $10 (or other values as well) and stick it inside an Altoids container (to be used as an “after dinner mint.” Wrap your container and you have a fun gift!
You could also buy some groceries and turn it into a theme gift. Pick up a DVD (something like My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Hummus, Pita, and Wine and throw in a Restaurant.com gift card!
There are all kinds of things that you can do with your gift cards (they’re my favorite teacher gift!), so give yourself a deal and save some money at the same time!
