If it's a gift (rather than helping me out because I'm struggling to pay my bills), I'd rather have a gift card. Give me cash and it'll just merge with the rest of my money and go towards bills. Give me a gift card and I'll spend it on actual treats.
A previous employer gave me over £100 in Love2Shop gift cards (generic high street gift card) and I used them to buy a ton of art supplies that I wouldn't have bought if I'd just been given cash (which probably would have just gone straight into my savings).
That reminds me, my last employer gave me £150 in cash when he had to make me redundant and it's still gathering dust as an emergency cash fund. So yeah, if he gave me a gift card, I'd have had to use it to buy myself something.
