LPT: Did you receive some gift cards over the holidays? When you use them, take a picture of the item you bought and send it to your gift giver as a thanks

Sending a short video of you using the item is also really nice. If the gift card is for an experience (movie tickets, sports tickets, etc), a short video saying thank you is always heartwarming.

For example, I received some gift cards to REI recently and I plan on purchasing some ski gear. I'll send a picture of me wearing the gear as a thanks.

I know that some people feel bad giving gift cards because they couldn't think of a specific gift that you want, so it's always thoughtful to show that you're enjoying the gift.
