I get what someone is saying about the easy way out. But here's my thought (especially when it comes to giving iTunes gift cards): the fact that a gift was given at all, given the state of the economy, should be enough to shut that person up. Now, I'm talking about friends, acquaintances, etc. Birthdays often just show up...most people won't talk about their birthday coming up until the very last minute, and then it's too late to give "the perfect, most thoughtful" gift. I love giving iTunes cards. They're quick, and the person gets to choose what they want.
Some people are simply better at gift-giving then others, but you shouldn't discount any gift really.
