But Auburn's analytics program, along with its much closer proximity to her home and family in Tennessee, won Williams over.

The wholesale club sells gift card bundles with discounts of 20% or more on the combined face value.

AdvertisementThe same things that make cash a great holiday gift — it's always the right size and color — largely apply to gift cards as well. Warehouses often have jumbo-sized sheets of gift cards on display featuring national chains as well as local restaurants and teams. While buying gift cards through Costco may be a bargain, the better gift (for certain recipients) just might be a gift card to Costco.
