The Most Wanted Gift Cards in 2011

cardswap [1]For the fifth consecutive year, gift cards are expected to be the most popular holiday gift. But with more and more Canadian retailers now offering gift cards, making the right choice can be overwhelming. Fortunately, CardSwap [2] has released their list of the five most sought after gift cards this holiday season.  As Canada’s largest online gift card marketplace, CardSwap has the inside track on which gift cards are most popular.

If you’re struggling to decide what to get for the toughest people on your list, here are five of your best bets:

  1. Apple Store gift card
  2. Best Buy gift card
  3. Chapters Indigo gift card
  4. Hudson’s Bay Company (“HBC”) gift card
  5. The Keg Steakhouse gift card

Remember, you can purchase gift cards for many of your favourite stores directly on CardSwap at discounts of up to 35% off.  Also, if you happen to receive a gift card for a store you don’t really need anything from, it can easily be turned into cash, or donated to a charity for a tax receipt, by using CardSwap.  With the average Canadian family having nearly $300 in unused gift cards lying around the house – it is an effective way to boost your gift-giving budget this holiday season.
