The only time it has been an issue was when our HS basketball teams were really good and going to state every year which usually fell on the weekend leading into spring break. So if staff wanted to go and watch as well it created issues.

Our school cancels school if any team makes state. We got six days last year.

firstworldproblems but this is the worst. Especially if they are super, super, duper against giving money. I think Dh has finally gotten the message through on clothes. Don't think he ever kept anything bought for him after high school. Side note, we are going in on a no-fee nonspecific gift card for Dh's parents so they can put it toward some household items. DH is telling me this and I'm like.......so we're giving them cash? Basically, yeah. But it's not ok to give a straight check or gift card so someone is hunting down a generic cash gift card that can be used anywhere. Like cash. I stopped trying to make sense of it at that point.

Anyway, we have found that saying we are looking at x appliance or x furniture item is a way for them to give money without feeling it's just money. Money with a purpose, I guess. And we do put it toward that item then. So if there is something you're looking at which you would never ask someone to pay full price for (like say, a new sofa), ask for money toward that. Even better if you know where you want to buy it from and they can do a gift certificate.

Otherwise experiences are good if there are tickets to something you'd like to go to. Is there some kind of tool that you would like to have?

But yeah, it's a weird age, especially if you have a decent job and no kids. If there's something I really have my eye on, I'm generally not waiting until Christmas to buy it.

They make prepaid Visa cards I know. Not sure if there is a fee or if they are vendor fees like the regular credit cards.

can I ask what trim level? We have the remote thing/push button (doesn't start it from a distance - would love that - but can unlock via button on the door handle) that we love on my 2009 Altima. Have to go up a ways to get that on the Highlander. Well, Sorento too if we want a V6 (we do, the 4 was noticeable different) and we find it very silly to get a vehicle ~7-8 years newer and go backward on the conveniences.

There are aftermarket remote starts that would allow you to avoid certain options you don't want.

We have found that the visa gift cards don't always work in restaurants. One place thought it was due to not being able to add a tip later.
