Gift Certificates: Good or Bad?

do you think it's ok to give gift certificates to people as Christmas gifts? I know it makes sense and alot of people do appreciate them cuz of course they can pick something out they really want.
BUT there does seem something impersonal and lazy about it. Agree? Disagree? I'm talking about people who are close to you, gift certificates are great to get for people who aren't so close. Don't you feel better when you know that the person has gone out and spent some time considering what to buy you?

As the 'giver' for somebody i really like I would rather think about it and buy them something than give them a gift certificate unless they had told me that a gift certificate to a particular store is really what they want.
