The Gift Card: Buy or Sell at Plastic Jungle

We have a small drawer in our kitchen that has become the catch-all place for random things to go to rest. I wouldn't exactly call it a junk drawer, but it is a collection of clipped coupons, screws that belong to something-or-other, and, the most recent addition, gift cards.

It's not that we don't use gift cards, because we do, it just seems like they end up sitting there waiting for us to remember that we have them. Are we going to that store? Do we want to eat at that restaurant? Wasn't there a reason that we were going to head in the direction of that mall?

Aside from trying to remember to carry the cards everywhere we go in hopes that we'll use them, what other option is there? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sell or exchange them for something a little more useful sometimes?
