YC’s 2016 Holiday Gift Guide
Unless there&#x27;s a significant financial incentive to do so (ex: 2-to-1 match), don&#x27;t give people gift cards. Gift cards are the biggest scam ever pulled by the retail industry, or more specifically, perpetuating the idea that giving cash is taboo.<p>The one exception would be giving a preloaded credit card to someone who otherwise doesn&#x27;t have access to one (ex: a niece&#x2F;nephew that&#x27;s far away) and only if there are no fees associated with initially loading it. I think AmEx has some kind of cyber monday promotion for that today. If you have to pay anything more than $0 then forget about it though.<p>All that aside, Markhor looks interesting. I don&#x27;t recall seeing them on HN (guess it&#x27;s less &quot;tech&quot; than most YC companies) but the loafers look nice. Anybody here have any experience with them? Always on the look out for a better pair of shoes...
