We propose that givers construe gifts abstractly, and therefore choose gifts high on desirability attributes over gifts high on feasibility attributes. Support for these propositions emerges in studies examining giver and rece...

Gift cards are a common form of restricted funds: The balance of a closed-loop (brand-specific) gift card can only be redeemed at the originating brand. We propose that this restriction compels the recipient of a gift card to consider how the funds can be spent, which leads to the formation of a brand-specific spending goal and corresponding mental account.
