Target reinvents the gift card

 

You see the latest from the "cheap chic" folks at Target – a digital camera gift card?  That’s right, they've introduced a Target gift card that can be loaded with $50 to $1,000 of store credit... that also features a basic digital camera about as good as the one on your cell phone.  Details:

• Like with other cards, you choose how much store credit you want loaded onto the card.
• The camera is 1.2 megapixel with 8 MB of memory to hold 50 pictures. It runs on 3 AAA batteries.
• The camera / card comes with a USB cord, driver disc and voucher for 40 free prints at Target.

I'm not sure how truly useful the camera is, but it certainly has a Cool Factor that stands out from all the other gift cards out there.  And with the tough times this holiday season, standing out on Cool is definitely going to be hot.

So, will you be buying one?  Regardless, happy shopping.
