Yep, it’s official: Another Black Friday is in the books. The 2021 holiday shopping season is in full swing, and Cyber Monday is finally here.

Supply-chain issues are making some items tough to find this year, and to make things worse, scammers are building fake shopping websites with otherwise sold-out products “available” to dupe holiday shoppers. Luckily, there’s a simple workaround to all that: Gift cards. It may be safer to give your friends and family gift cards this Christmas or Hanukkah. And it may be more cost-effective, too — there are a number of stores offering Cyber Monday discounts on the face value of gift cards right now.

One of the biggest merchants out there, Amazon, currently has a Cyber Monday gift-card deal that’s not to be missed: When you buy $50 worth of Amazon gift cards, you get a $10 Amazon credit two days later. That’s free money in your pocket this holiday season. (Note that you’ll need to be signed in to your Amazon account to see and cash in on the deal.)

If you don’t want to deal with mail delivery slowdowns, supply chain issues and in-store crowds, gift cards are a great gift choice in 2021. Consider the discounted gift cards from Amazon, Walmart and more ahead — plus some full-price gift card options that are sure to delight this holiday.
