I went to REI earlier for one of my last BM purchases.I was reluctant to spend the money, but I went in search of a camelbak resevoir that would fit inside my iridescent backpack. I decided after the last time that a camelbak is really the right answer for water. The 50-oz one looked reasonable, and I decided it was worth the extra $5 for the greater capacity over their 35-oz version.
Anyway, after waffling over the expense, I went up to the counter while digging in my wallet for my REI member card. The card I pulled out was, instead, an REI gift card. I looked baffled. But it was, in fact, an unused $50 gift card. A few minutes into this, I remembered that my brother gave it to me for graduation. I win.
I wonder how I'd forgotten about it? Usually I have a disturbingly complete mental index of giftcard assets.
