    So which group are you in?
    Does the GC burn a hole in your pocket and you immediately spend it? or
    Can you wait for that perfect opportunity to grab some goodies?

    Well, this doesn't apply to me, but if I ever get money for my birthday or Christmas, I happily spend it as quickly as possible. Of course, this means later that I'm like, oh gee, I'm missing out on this or that. I just pop those things on my wish list and wait for the next round of money or just go ahead and buy it myself. I'm NO help, you see.

    I usually wait, but with the Project Mouse anniversary coming up, I might just blow it all on that!

    I already spent mine as I knew I wanted to get a couple things to scrap my recent medical experience with. I generally spend it right away or I forget that I have it!

    Before being a Polly, when I would get the GC I spent it all after I got it... I had my wishlist going prior :) Have fun shopping!

    I will spend it when I see something I want in the Wednesday sales or I wait until iNSD. I have my wishlist ready though.

    I usually save gift certificates for something that I wouldn't normally splurge on or in the case of scrappy supplies, I used to save them for right before a scrapbook weekend so I could stock up on fun supplies that I knew I'd use that weekend.

    So. If this were me... I have a tendency to do one of two things.... spend quickly. Or keep for a super crazy long time. I have a binder clip in my purse with a bunch of gift cards. I don't shop often, so I really don't use them often. Then covid hit, so now they are really getting up there in age, lol! I do check periodically to see about balance, to make sure I'm not losing money!

    I only burn a hole if there's things in my wish list that I need NOW. Otherwise I wait for the new products to see if I need them!

    I usually hold in to it to use it wisely.
