When my niece went off to college, I called several local restaurants and specialty stores..most were more than happy to let me use my credit card to buy a gift card, and then hold it for her to pick up….then I sent her on a scavenger hunt to find her gifts cards,which were waiting for her at all the businesses…… it also helped her learn how to get around in her new town
