Receiving one of these as a gift must be one of the saddest experiences known to man...
I'd rather just get the generic men's gift starter pack of Lynx/Axe deodorant, socks, and a DVD of [insert movie that was popular a few months ago]
DVD, not even Blu-ray? Damn
Depends. It can be a good joke gift in your early twenties between men, but on any other occasions it can get pretty depressing.
I don't know which is sadder to receive, this gift card or a gym membership.
Some people actually enjoy fitness so i am sure they could appreciate it.

High-quality socks are a great gift, but these socks usually aren't that
